4. Table Mountain Aerial Cableway – approx. R 50.00*
A trip to Cape Town is simply incomplete without a trip up the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway to the top of the majestic Table Mountain, recently awarded the title of 7th Wonder of Nature. Weather-permitting, the cableway operates daily and also offers free guided walks at the top station. Once at the top, visitors can take in the panoramic views of the city centre, learn about the indigenous fauna and flora that call the mountain home, or have a bite to eat at the City’s highest restaurant – the Table Mountain Café.
