17 days in Cape Town Itinerary

Sweeping beaches, towering hilltops, and picturesque vineyards adorn the landscape of Cape Town, dominated by the imposing Table Mountain.

Let the collections at District Six Museum and South African Jewish Museum capture your imagination. Robben Island Museum and Groot Constantia are good opportunities to explore the local culture. Get out of town with these interesting Cape Town side-trips: Mellasat Vineyards (in Paarl), Topiary Wine Estate (in Wemmershoek) and Franschhoek (Stony Brook Vineyards, First South African Perfume Museum, &more). There's still lots to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, step into the grandiose world of Castle of Good Hope, admire the natural beauty at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and get great views at Cape Point.
