Table Mountain

Why go

This is where the city’s layout becomes clear: the urban basin, working harbour, island and peninsula spread out from one high vantage point. The mountain is also part of a national park with varied trails and fynbos, so a summit view and a hike are different experiences.

What to look for

• The summit overlooks the City Bowl, Table Bay and Robben Island.
• Fynbos grows across the mountain’s slopes.
• The Back Table opens a different side of the massif beyond the main plateau.

Useful to know

• Choose your hiking route according to distance and difficulty; use park trails in daylight.
• Check cableway conditions separately from mountain trail access.
