CANAL WALK
This combination of natural waterways with architectural development and top shopping, is a must visit on your tour to Cape Town. In the center of the photo is the iconic knightsbridge apartment block.
CHAPMAN'S PEAK DRIVE
Very near to the center of the city was one of the most spectacular drives, with shear orange cliffs to the one side, and rocks into the Azure Atlantic waters on the other. This is now a toll road... pay a little more and help prevent rock falls. Take the M6 between Hout Bay and Noordhoek.
VERGELEGEN
This must is a must-see stop on your travel itenary. Vergelegen is a historic Cape Dutch manor house set amid a sprawling and beautifully articulated garden with many different atmospheres and surprises. The newly built restuarant, wine tasting venue and children's park, make it a more comfortable outing and enough to make a full day outing of it.
