Iconic attractions
Cape Town is known for its prominent attractions such as Table Mountain, Cape Point, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens to name a few. The winter months are regarded as low season, which means there will be fewer tourists around with no long queues!

For those brave enough to face the colder weather, Cape Town has many hiking, running and mountain bike trails.
Feasting
