Cape Town Summers are legendary, just ask the locals. From long lazy days on the beach to dining alfresco and everything in between, make Cape Town the best place spend your holiday.

Here are some of our favourite Summer moments from the Cape Town Big 6 attractions: Table Mountain Cableway, Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, Robben Island, V&A Waterfront, Cape Point, and Groot Constantia. 

Dine with a view or take in a cruise at the V & A Waterfront

Come lunchtime, we’ll be chilling under the Quayside Terraces.

One Destination, 6 Unbelievable 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.
