More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You step out into Cape Town air that smells of salt and sun, the city framed by a flat-topped mountain holding the sky like a ledge. The morning begins with color—Bo-Kaap’s painted rows and narrow streets—then rises in altitude and drama as the cableway or a short walk lifts you above the city to Table Mountain’s plateau, where wind and granite set the pace.
