About Cape Town

Cape Town, one of 3 capitals of the Republic of South Africa, is also the city at the farthest end of Africa. The southernmost tip of Africa, called the Cape of Good Hope, is located in this city. This point is the place where tourists visit most frequently. In addition, you can also visit the Table Mountain, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, Hermanus Bay where you can see whales, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, and the island of Robben where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 27 years. False Bay is the best swimming option in the era, because other beaches may experience occasional shark attacks. 

Cape Town, which developed under the influence of Dutch and British cultures for many years, is a very cosmopolitan city where people from many different religions and ethnic groups live. It is also one of the safest cities in the African continent. The population of the city is 3.5 million.
