CAPE TOWN Cape Town, the political capital of the country, is also the leisure capital thanks to its Mediterranean-style climate. The city plays host to some of the finest nightlife and eateries in South Africa. It's a remarkable coastal city surrounded by the striking plateau of Table Mountain, where rugged activities like rock climbing and cave exploration add a new wrinkle to city life. Each of Cape Town's beach areas has its own unique charm – False Bay's water is typically warmer than most, the upscale Atlantic beaches are flush with cafés, and Boulders Beach is home to a colony of African penguins. If you want to catch the wave of the city's relaxed vibe, grab a surfboard and discover why Cape Town offers some of the best surfing in the world.
