Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site, Robbenneeds no introduction with regards to the significance of its place in South Africa's and indeed the world's history. As "home" to one of the world's most famous prisoners, statesmen and leader's in Nelson Mandela, Robben Island is quite possibly most well known island-prison on the planet.

The tour of the Robben Island Museum begins at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V & A Waterfront with a multimedia exhibition, a museum shop and restaurant to entertain you whilst you wait for the ferry to depart for the island. Please be sure to be there 30 minutes prior to the departure time, with the gates closing 10 minutes prior to departure.

Table Mountain is the most iconic landmark of South Africa. It is also the country's most photographed attraction, and is accessible via aerial cable car where visitors can enjoy lush gardens at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, wineries, hiking tours and the national park.

The Constantia Valley is the closest wine route to the city, and no more than 20 minutes away. This region is home to both the country's oldest established wine farms and some of the newest. Constantia wines are largely cool climate offerings, so look out for world class Sauvignon Blancs, wonderful reds and infamous sweet wine offerings.

Franschhoek is about an hour outside of Cape Town, and is a spectacularly beautiful wine route. The gorgeously quaint village of Franschhoek abounds with art galleries, antique shops, restaurants and boutique hotels.

Stellenbosch, located about 40 minutes from Cape Town, was the first wine region in South Africa to establish a wine route along an organised network of wineries.
