Even transient visitors can't help but become enamored with Cape Town's exquisite beauty: its striking Table Mountain backdrop, gorgeous beaches, enchanting vineyards, rugged landscapes, and its variety of wonderful plants and animals. In fact, some visitors extend their stay to a good bit longer than what you'd consider a vacation!

Cape Town is also famous for its hospitality. Its mix of trendy hotels and hostels matches up favorably to those in any other cosmopolitan city. There's a lively cultural scene, particularly when it comes to music, which seems to pervade every corner of the city. The people are open-minded and the mood relaxed.
