From the stunning beaches to Table Mountain and more – the Mother City is, indeed, a beautiful destination. Here are three reasons Cape Town is so magnificent.
1. Colourful Bo-Kaap homes
Bo-Kaap is one of the destinations in Cape Town which is undoubtedly a cultural hub of note, with deep-rooted historical significance, especially for Cape Malay people. Overflowing with colourful homes, Bo-Kaap was originally established as a settlement during the colonial period in the Cape, with slaves brought from India, the Middle East, Africa, and more, creating an amalgamation of cultures. It is beautiful, rich in tradition, and a place of splendour.
2. Cape Town beaches are exquisite
From Camps Bay to Muizenberg, and more, Cape Town has an eclectic mix of stunning beaches that many people across the globe travel from far and wide to enjoy. Another firm favourite around the Cape Peninsula is Boulders Beach, where the most adorable penguins can be found.
