I have been many times. Lived and visited. Recently was there too. The City Bowl is nice in it's own right and leads down to one of the most beautiful waterfronts in the world, Victoria Waterfront. Has many nice shops, theatres, British style pubs, world-class restaurants, etc. Drive 20 or so minutes outside the city and you hit winelands or vynlands. Stellenbosch is this area. Magnificent. Drive the opposite direction to Cape Point area for whale watching and cliff dwelling. Many nice towns such as Simonstown, Camps Bay along this route.
You want me to post some pix?

Stellenbosch Winelands:
These are about 30 minutes outside CT. Cliffs dives directly into the South Atlantic.

I taught in a country above it, Namibia (SW Africa). During holidays we drive, flew or took a bus down to CT, for cultural relief and some civlization. We rented a flat for 3 months after my contract ending when I was a teacher. Lived in Sea Point. Has a very Asian/British feel to it. Great food and wine, obviously.

(Nov 23 05, 05:48)they have plenty of museums and art areas there. enough to keep your going for a week or so, I'm sure of it. Have been but cannot recall names, sorry. I think Cape Town University has some nice things as well as the University of Stellenbosch, a world class Uni.
