From flat-topped Table Mountain down to the blue waters of sea, Cape Town is simply stunning, but the city doesn't thrive by its looks alone. Proudly multicultural, its flourishing arts, dining, and nightlife scenes are proof of this modern metropolis' creativity and innovative spirit. Cape Town has been named one of the best places in the world to visit.

Cape Town was developed by the Dutch East India Company as a supply station for ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Cape Town has outgrown its original purpose as the first European outpost and is becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony.
