In this post you will discover about the rich cultures of the many various people and places of the city of Cape Town.
Cape Town is situated at the south western point of the continent, and is known as the entrance to Africa. local and foreign alike? This city is alive with cultures of many types, stemming from numerous colonists from the Dutch to the French. It's a wonderfully well balanced city of sounds, cultures and sights.

The earliest constructed building is the Castle of the Cape of Good Hope, built in the sixteen hundreds and is the 2nd oldest building in Cape Town, and is called the Groote Kerk, which means the Great Church, and this is the Dutch Reformed church in South Africa, the first of its kind.
Old world beauty meets new world efficiency. The reason Cape Town exists at all is because of the gardens, then called as the Company Gardens, better known to Capetonians simply as town gardens, where you can take leisurely walks and feed the squirrels and take pleasure in a sunny summers day. It is not nearly as huge as it used to be, but still provides a charming park filled with beautiful old trees to merely enjoy your surroundings.
Cape Town Holidays are not complete unless you have seen the most popular part of this city; Table Mountain. It dominates the horizon and is a sight to be seen, particularly when the "table cloth" is covering it. Clouds seem to drape just the top of the plateau, making it appear as if a white table cloth is covering the mountain top. On clearer days, you can ride the cable cars to the top and take pleasure in some of the most incredible panoramic views in the world, have a picnic or just take the most lovely pictures to show off. You can even go on walking tracks up the mountain, if you are feeling fit and energetic. The mountain belongs to the Table Mountain National Park which stretches all the way to the Cape Peninsula. It also has the loveliest fynbos and wild flowers around and does, in truth, boast more types of plants than the whole of Great Britain. Table Mountain is an experience that everyone, including us citizens, has to be able to state "I've been up Table Mountain".
There is a lot to see and do in Cape Town, it is simply impossible to list everything! For those unfortunate minority of unenlightened, there are no elephants or lions or zebras wandering our city streets. We are as cosmopolitan as the next city, just more amazing to go to!
