Table Mountain, one of the Seven Natural Wonders, dominates the landscape, giving unique charm to the region. In addition, dozens of beaches (one of them inhabited by penguins), the famous Cape of Good Hope, a beautiful natural park by the sea, make Cape Town a must stop for anyone considering traveling to South Africa.

Where to stay in Cape Town:
Cape Town is a very touristy city, so there is no shortage of accommodation options here, whether it's a five-star hotel or a simple hostel. Prices are reasonable and there are alternatives for all budgets. Among the best neighborhoods to stay is the Waterfront area, a safe place full of restaurants and cool shops. The neighborhoods of Sea Point and Green Point are good choices for those looking for the combination of good value for money and a beautiful view. If you want to stay close to the beaches of the city, we recommend looking for something in Camps Bay, and for those who is searching for nightlife bustle, the choice can only be the one: the inns, apartments and small hotels of the noisy Long Street that is located in the center of the city.

Weather in Cape Town:
The geographical location of Cape Town is right in the middle of the airstream coming from Antarctica. This means that even on sunny and beautiful days, the winds (very common in spring) make the temperature vary between 4 °C and 12 °C in winter (between May and August) and 15 °C and 29 °C in summer (from December to March). So, regardless of the season, always wear a sweater. Avoid visiting the city in the winter between May and August when there is more rain and cloudy weather, which can disrupt the view of Table Mountain.
