We are excited to announce the release of This Is Cape Town Vol 3, which you can explore here.

In this edition, the global recognition of Cape Town is highlighted as a place among the great cities of the world. Earlier this year, Cape Town proudly secured the second spot in Time Out’s recognition of “The 50 Best Cities in the World in 2024”.

Cape Town is a city with a plethora of things to do and see. In this vibrant city, visitors and locals alike can immerse themselves in a variety of experiences that cater to every taste and interest. This September has been particularly special as we celebrate Heritage Month, Tourism Month, and World Tourism Day–giving more reasons to explore the ins and outs of Cape Town’s hottest attractions. 

The Cape Town Big 6 Attractions are the perfect start to any Mother City adventure, offering a blend of heritage sites and top tourist attractions. Let’s take a closer look at each of these incredible destinations:
