Cape Town offers an inexpensive, culturally rich place to get a unique experience. I recently studied abroad there and wrote an article about my experiences. Check it out at: http://www.clevergems.com/travel/study-abroad-cape-town/
You have many plans for your vacation? Have you ever heard about Cape Town? CAPE TOWN is southern Africa's most beautiful, most romantic and most visited city. Indeed, few urban centres anywhere can match its setting along the mountainous Cape Peninsula spine, which slides into the Atlantic Ocean.

Over 12 Trips to the Area
By bigsavus, 01/08/08
The Cape is one of the most beautiful areas in the world. The colonial history merged with the native provides a unique environment. Waterfront, Table Mount, the Gardens, the beaches and wine country make it a very different and exciting place to see. There are safety issues but as long as you are in normal tourist areas you are ok.
There are short trips for whale watching, golfing, wine and mountains.

Cape Town
By bradford_m.rm, 06/14/07
Cape Town was great. Climate much like that of San Francisco. We stayed in CPT for 11 days and had plenty to do! We did skip Robben Island and went to the District Six mueseum instead (suggested by several people that we do that). Township Tour is a must along with the other obvious things like Cape Point, Table Mountain, etc...Sunday Market at ...

Lying at the foot of its most famous landmark, Table Mountain, Cape Town has many well preserved historical buildings. Outside the city, attractions include Chapman's Peak Drive along a winding coastline, where sheer cliffs drop to the ...

Beautiful Cape Town!
By elzanlab, 11/29/06
Cape Town is an amazing place. The whole atmosphere is enthralling. Rich in history, culture, sights and fun, it is a wonderful family vacation spot. Be sure to visit Robben Island, the Castle and the Waterfront.
The beaches are beautiful, though the water is a bit chilly in comparison with the rest of South-Africa's coast.

This is by far the most beautiful place ever. I don't know the names of all the places but everything i saw was just amazing. I have friends there so the are no particular hotels. Cape Town has a wonderful beach, you can rent a beach house for like $100 american $. If you can go there with just $200 you will need a whole new suitcase to bring ...
We stayed in Fish Hoek, and loved the fact that it was very safe and family friendly. The folks at "A Whale of a time" self catering organized so much for us, and were very friendly and accommodating to our demands!
The weather was excellent, and we saw whales in the bay! Fish Hoek was such a great venue, but the views were amazing, 180 degree panoramic views of the bay, awesome!!
Will definately be back again.

Worlds' best city
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/13/06
As a seasoned Traveller, I have been to all corners of the earth, but I have never experienced a city as colourful, vibrant and interesting as Cape Town.It is a pity that Cape Town does so little to promote itself. Wherever I go, I look for news about Cape Town, but very little is being published. Why? Comments would be welcome, btter still suggestions.
