What to expect

  1. Robben Island Museum
    4h · Admission ticket included
    Robben Island is one of South Africa’s most powerful historical landmarks, located just off the coast of Cape Town. Once used as a prison during apartheid, it is most famous for holding former president Nelson Mandela for 18 of his 27 years in captivity.

    Today, the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a symbol of resilience, freedom, and the triumph of the human spirit. Visitors take a ferry from the V&A Waterfront and enjoy a guided tour led by former political prisoners, including a visit to Mandela’s former prison cell.

    It’s not just a tour — it’s an emotional and deeply meaningful journey into South Africa’s history.
  2. Table Mountain
    1h · Admission ticket included
    Table Mountain is Cape Town’s most iconic natural landmark, famous for its flat-topped summit and breathtaking panoramic views of the city, ocean, and surrounding mountains. Rising over 1,000 meters above sea level, it forms part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is home to unique fynbos vegetation found nowhere else in the world.

    Visitors can hike to the top or take the rotating cable car for a scenic ride to the summit, where unforgettable views and fresh mountain air await.
  3. Bo-Kaap
    30m
    Bo-Kaap is one of Cape Town’s most colourful and culturally rich neighbourhoods, known for its bright houses, cobbled streets, and deep Cape Malay heritage. This historic area reflects the traditions of descendants of enslaved people brought from Southeast Asia in the 17th century.

    Visitors can explore local spice shops, learn about Islamic culture at historic mosques, and discover the unique flavours of Cape Malay cuisine — making it a vibrant cultural stop in the heart of the city.
