There’s no better place to celebrate love than in the most beautiful city in the world. This Valentine’s Day, treat yourself or someone special to a romantic picnic, sundowner or dinner at one of the Cape Town Big 6.

 

Robben Island

 

Robben Island Museum in partnership with the Department of Home Affairs, will hold its annual mass weddings on Valentine’s Day – the 14 February. This annual tradition promises to be the perfectly romantic way to elope and declare your love for that special somebody in your life. Although all places are sold out already, there is always the option to plan ahead for next year.

Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden

moyo Kirstenbosch welcomes all this Valentine’s Day to come and celebrate love with them with a special dinner. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival and a special gift in the evening. R100 deposit secures your table. Book at Moyo: +27 21 762 9585 

Kirstenbosch Gardens might as well be Cupid’s backyard with its sprawling lawns nestled between indigenous flora on the slopes of Wine Berg.

One of the most romantic things to do at Kirstenbosch is watching the sun set over the Constantia Valley from the aptly titled Boomslang (tree snake) Walkway. Built to commemorate the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden’s 100th anniversary in 2013, the Boomslang is a 130m canopy walkway “snaking” its way through the treetops.

In the summer months, spread a picnic blanket and catch a famous Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concert – get your tickets here. Or cuddle up under the stars to a magical movie experience in the most beautiful garden in South Africa with The Galileo Open Air Cinema. Click here for more details on when screening will happen again.

Cape Point

Cape Point is a well-know engagement hotspot so, guys, if you’re aiming to pop the big question, this is the place to do it.

It also boasts arguably the most scenically placed wooden deck in Africa at the famous Two Ocean’s restaurant. They serve an a la carte breakfast and lunch.

The Cape Point funicular is a railway line that runs from a lower station at the Cape Point car park, up an incline through dense fynbos to the upper lighthouse. It’s the ideal way to whisk closer to the lighthouse (and perhaps the perfect spot to bend a knee for a proposal).

If you’re adventurous, head down to Buffels Bay or Bortjiesrif, or for a secluded picnic or take a walk down to Dias beach if you’re brave enough to brace the steps.

Contact the Two Ocean’s Restaurant on +27 (0)21 780 9200

ONE DESTINATION, SIX UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES

There is no one way to explore all of the Cape Town Big 6, and much of what makes each of them so special is the variety of things to see and do at each. So if possible, take your time to explore each of the city’s most visited tourist attractions in as much depth as possible – as any local will tell you, you can spend a lifetime at each of the Big 6 and still not tire of them. Find the 3 and 4 day itineraries and tips here.
