In this write-up you will find out all about the rich cultures of the many various people and locations of the city of Cape Town.
Cape Town is located at the south western point of the continent, and is referred to as the gateway to Africa. Then, exactly what does Cape Town have to provide the eager traveler, foreign and local alike? This city is alive with cultures of many types, stemming from many colonists from the Dutch to the French. It's a magnificently balanced city of sights, cultures and sounds. The earliest built structure is the Castle of the Cape of Good Hope, built in the 1660's and is the 2nd oldest building, called the Groote Kerk, which means the Great Church, and this is the Dutch Reformed church in South Africa, the first of its kind.|Cape Town is situated at the south western point of continent, and is known as the entrance to Africa. The oldest built building is the Castle of the Cape of Good Hope, constructed in the sixteen hundreds and is the 2nd oldest building in Cape Town, and is called the Groote Kerk, which means the Great Church, and this is the Dutch Reformed church in South Africa, the first of its kind.
Old world charm meets new world efficiency. The reason for Cape Towns existence are the gardens, then called as the Company Gardens, better known to the locals simply as town gardens, where you can take leisurely walks and feed the squirrels and delight in a sunny summers day. It is not nearly as huge as it used to be, but still offers a lovely park filled with gorgeous ancient trees to simply enjoy your surroundings.
Cape Town Holidays are not complete unless you have checked out the most famous part of this city; Table Mountain. It dominates the horizon and is a sight to be seen, especially when the "table cloth" is covering it. Clouds appear to cover just the top of the plateau, making it look as if a white table cloth is on the mountain. On clearer days, you can ride the cable cars to the top and enjoy some of the most magnificent views worldwide, have a picnic or merely take the most beautiful pictures to show off with. You can even go on walking tracks up the mountain, if you are feeling fit and energetic. The mountain belongs to the Table Mountain National Park which stretches all the way to the Cape Peninsula. It also has the loveliest fynbos and wild flowers around and does, in fact, boast more types of plants than the whole of Great Britain. Table Mountain is an experience that everyone, including us residents, need to be able to say "I have actually been up Table Mountain".
There is so much to see and do in Cape Town, it is simply impossible to detail it all! However, for those unfortunate few unenlightened, there are no lions or elephants or zebras wandering our city roads. We are as cosmopolitan as the next city, just more interesting to go to!
