In the heart of South Africa's breathtaking landscapes, there is a city shrouded in mystical aura and historical mysteries, and it’s Cape Town.

The mother city of South Africa occupies one of the most beautiful positions in the world, with an iconic mountain located right in its center. As beautiful as the beaches and surrounding vineyards, the harsh desert of Table Mountain is covered with a unique flora, which captures everyone's attention.

With 6.5 million international tourists, South Africa appears to be the first destination in Africa. The inhabitants of Cape Town are truly open to tourism, which began at the threshold of the 90s, at the end of apartheid. Thanks to a significant regional and European tourism development, in recent years, the nation has grown considerably. African visitors are distinguished from those from overseas, differentiated by the activities carried out and seasonal movements.

But everyone participates fully in the development of the tourism sector. For lovers of architecture, the city is also famous for its colonial style, called Cape Dutch, particularly evident in the Constantia districts. During your stay in this fabulous place, you can stroll through the main streets: starting from Piazza Heerengracht where the first camp of the East India Company was founded. A short distance away, shopping lovers can also enjoy and discover Adderley Street, the main shopping street.

Without forgetting Government Avenue, where passers-by will find themselves in a beautiful glazed walkway of ancient oaks. Here museums abound, such as the Museum of History and Culture, the oldest South African institute after the Castle of Good Hope, residence of the city's first governors in the second half of the 17th century.
