The distinctive nature of the city's geography is reflected in the fabulous wines produced in the region and a trip to one of the many vineyards for a tasting or to admire the magnificent Cape-Dutch architecture of the wine estates in the Constantia Valley region can be a great way to spend a day.

Elsewhere, there is plenty to see and discover during a city break, from the notorious Robben Island Prison where Nelson Mandela was held during the apartheid to the colony of African penguins at beautiful Boulders Bay. The stunning Kirstenbosch National Botanic Garden should not be missed during a city break either, as its wide variety of exotic trees, plants and insects lets you really appreciate the diversity of the landscape.

South Africa is known as the Rainbow Nation and the influence that its many different cultures have had on it can clearly be seen in its cuisine and nightlife, with its melting pot of flavours and sounds which are varied enough to please any taste.
