Parks & Nature
A tough but totally worth it hike up the back side of Table Mountain, beginning in the utterly gorgeous Kirstenbosch Gardens. Check out the Boomslang bridge before you set off on the trail! It's a one-of-a-kind architectural achievement that meanders along the tops of the botanical garden's little forest.

You can't miss out on sundowners at Clifton Beach! There's nothing better. Take a picnic, a blanket and something warm to wear while you sip some Cape wine (try the Babylonstoren whites or Waterkloof Cinsault!)
