Why Cape Town?

Cape Town is also known as Mother City, the second-most populous urban area in South Africa. It is also the capital and primate city of the Western Cape Province. The city is famous for its harbour, for its natural setting in the Cape Floristic Region and for such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. It is one of the most multicultural cities in the world, reflecting its role as a major destination for immigrants and expatriates to South Africa.

It forms part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony.

Cape town and Cape Peninsula up to cape point, are famous for scenic beauty; celebrity beaches; Table mountain; whale watching; world class shopping, night life, food and wine; and a laid-back atmosphere.
