Cape Town, South Africa
Posted by admin on March 1st, 2009 filed in Travel
South Africa’s “Mother City” is Cape Town. The second largest city in the country, Cape Town boasts the National Parliament, the South African National Gallery, and is recognized by many as a cultural, economic, and arts center for South Africa. It also serves as the capital of the province of Western Cape.
The population of Cape Town (over 3.5 million inhabitants) is spread out over the largest possible geographic area. This gives Cape Town a comfortably low population density for such a developed urban area. Part of this spaciousness is augmented by the presence of Table Mountain National Park. With its beautiful mountain landscape and vegetation, the mountain range adds dramatic scenery and plenty of breathing room for the bustling city below.
The population of Cape Town is considered one of the friendliest in South Africa. The Cape Town South Africa hotels, restaurants, shops, and entertainment venues all reflect this spirit of hospitality and friendship. The city is a perfect blend of traditional charm, architecture, and culture with modern aesthetics and comfort.
Visitors to the city will want to make time to visit Table Mountain for its stunning views and the chance to experience the mountain beauty close up. Trips to the Castle of Good Hope, the Slave Lodge, and the Rhodes Memorial are also worthwhile. Other attractions to explore are the South African National Gallery and the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Or schedule a trip to coincide with the Cape Town Jazz Festival or the Spiers Summer Arts Festival for a truly unique Cape Town experience.
