Great Cape Town things to do
If you're looking for some memorable Cape Town things to do, my list below is a good place to find them!
What you choose to do ultimately depends on YOU - your preferences and plans for your Cape Town vacation. And it depends on the people you're travelling with - in our case, the kids :o). But never fear, the Cape offers many and varied options for entertainment, from the tranquil to the extreme!
Talking about extreme, one of my newsletter subscribers has raved about the service at the
Extreme Hotel in Cape Town
. They have organised various adventure outings for her and friends, and she's a local resident not even a hotel guest!)
I have also compiled a list of
family things to do in Cape Town
which may also be of interest to you.
Between the 2 lists of "things to do" and my page of
top Cape Town tourist attractions
, you'll find all the information you need about activities in and around Cape Town.
