Cape Town. The Mother City. The Friendliest City on Earth. Call it whatever you want, but it is a wonderful city to spend your time in! Individuals from all over the world flock to it's sunny shores in summer to ride the waves, soak up the sun, take pleasure in the night life or merely take in the magnificent sight, smells and sounds of this wonderful city. In this write-up you will discover all about the rich cultures of the many different individuals and places of the city of Cape Town.
Cape Town is situated at the south western point of the continent, and is known as the entrance to Africa. Then, what does Cape Town have to provide the eager traveler, foreign and local alike? This city is alive with cultures of lots of kinds, stemming from many colonists from the Dutch to the French. It's a wonderfully well balanced city of cultures, sights and sounds. The earliest built building is the Castle of the Cape of Good Hope, built in the sixteen hundreds and is the second oldest building, called the Groote Kerk, which means the Great Church, and this is the Dutch Reformed church in South Africa, the first of its kind.|Cape Town is located at the south western point of continent, and is known as the gateway to Africa. The earliest constructed building is the Castle of the Cape of Good Hope, constructed in the sixteen hundreds and is the second oldest building in Cape Town, and is called the Groote Kerk, which means the Great Church, and this is the Dutch Reformed church in SA, the first of its kind.
This great city is a lovely mix of old historical buildings and the brand-new, more modern-day ones. It may seem not cohesive and gaudy, however the two exist in perfect harmony. Old world charm meets new world efficiency. The reason for Cape Town's existence are the gardens, then called as the Company Gardens, much better known to Cape Town citizens simply as town gardens, where you can take leisurely walks and feed the squirrels and take pleasure in a sunny summers day. Nevertheless, it was originally developed to provide the passing ships with fresh fruit and vegetables and meat far back in 1652. Regrettably it is not nearly as huge as it used to be, but still offers a beautiful park filled with beautiful ancient trees to just enjoy your surroundings.
Cape Town Holidays are not complete unless you have checked out the most famous part of this city; Table Mountain. It dominates the horizon and is a sight to be seen, particularly when the "table cloth" is covering it. Clouds appear to drape just the top of the plateau, making it look as if a white table cloth is on the mountain. On clearer days, you can ride the cable cars to the top and take pleasure in some of the most spectacular views on the planet, have a picnic or merely take the most beautiful photos to remember Cape Town by. You can even go on walking trails up the mountain, if you are feeling fit and energetic. The mountain is part of the Table Mountain National Park which extends all the way to the Cape Peninsula. It also has the loveliest fynbos and wild flowers around and does, in truth, boast more species of plants than the entire Great Britain. Table Mountain is an experience that everybody, including us residents, has to be able to say "I have actually been up Table Mountain".
There is so much to see and do in Cape Town, it is just impossible to note it all! For those unfortunate minority of uninformed, there are no elephants or lions or zebras roaming our city streets. We are as cosmopolitan as the next city, only more amazing to explore!
