Edged by the blue Atlantic, and spread out below the distinctive silhouettes of Table Mountain and The Twelve Apostles, Cape Town is a bustling city of Dutch origin, with many cosmopolitan influences - from British to Malay - upon its architecture and life-style. Today’s Cape Town has as its centrepiece the superbly restored Victoria & Alfred Waterfront area. Located within easy reach of the celebrated Cape of Good Hope, and on the threshold of the beautiful Cape Province Winelands, this attractive city makes a delightful, not to say essential, feature of any South Africa holiday.
