A must with every visit to Cape Town 👍 Allow for longer waiting times at the gondola (tablemountain.net provides information on current waiting time) or high hiking👍

View of Cape Town from Table Mountain

Highlight • Viewpoint

Table Mountain - a must! At the moment (Dec 2021 - Corona) there are no waiting times at the cable car. However, an ascent by foot only gives the right kick up there. The weather must be carefully observed, otherwise it can be very dangerous when climbing or descending. Always take a windbreaker and water with you. And hat! However, it was useless for me, as there was a strong wind during this hike. You can't see it in the photos. But the train was closed because of wind and so everyone had to get off again. That pulls in, above all, you have to place every step well. You quickly slip on the boulder. Is steep. Phenomenal view above. Over the city and then on the other side over the coast with the beach resorts.
