This is a destination

for a lifetime of journeys.

Cape Town – well, how to describe this city? Some guide books divide places into categories like: worth a visit, worth a detour, worth a journey. This is too limited an approach to Cape Town. The Mother City isn’t only worth a journey, but a lifetime of journeys. This metropolis offers such an abundance of first class sights, that one quickly realises: here you have an enormously blessed corner of the earth. A reliably warm climate; refreshing winds; wonderful light; open-minded people; picturesque hills or mountains; not less than two oceans; charming inlets with a wealth of sandy beaches which won’t easily be found anywhere else; a young, colourful city alive with (relaxed) activity; a natural setting that can take on San Francisco or Sydney any time. One can enter an awe-inspiring National Park right in the city; but there’s a lot more. Natural and cultural or historic world heritage sites meet here. Cape Town is located in one of the only 6 floral kingdoms worldwide - the South African Cape Floral Region. And don’t forget: you’re in Africa! A continent that delights visitors again and again with specific spots of colour, scents, culinary experiences and - last but not least – smiles. Enjoy the most beautiful city of the world…
