And while you are on your wine tasting experience, do also try the mouth-watering Cape Town cuisine, such as Braai, which is roasted meat; and Bobotie, a popular dish that consists of meat curry, raisins, and an egg topping, often served with banana slices and yellow rice.

For those looking for thrilling activities, Cape Town offers many truly heart-pumping adventures like ziplining at Table Mountain Reserve, shark cage diving at Gansbaai, seal snorkeling at Hout Bay and tandem paragliding.

Cape Town also has a rich cultural heritage that cannot be overlooked. Visit Bo-kaap, a neighborhood where white-painted houses were once constructed for slaves. After slavery, it was abolished and converted into their home and each house was painted with vibrant colors to symbolize their freedom. Exploring Bo-kaap is the best way to experience typical Malay culture and try the delectable Cape Malay cuisine.
