Essentials in Cape Town

Robbin Island: Robben Island has been used in a lot of ways throughout history: jail, mental institution, leper colony, military base, etc. Today it is a museum, made famous by the island’s most important inhabitant, Nelson Mandela.

District Six Museum: This is one of Cape Town’s most poignant museums. It features displays and stories of District Six, an area of Cape Town which was filled with a vibrant mix of people. The museum's maps, photographs, audio recordings and written testimonies help build a picture of what District Six once was.

Table Mountain Aerial Cableway: Ride one of two cable cars to catch spectacular views while you ride to the summit of Table Mountain. To reach the lower Cable Station you should take a car or taxi since it is a long way from the city by foot.
