Top 4 hot spots of Cape Town – The Young Independents

All roads are leading to Cape Town for the State of The Nation Address(SONA) taking place on Thursday, February 9.

1. Visit Cape Point

Visiting Cape Point is an essential part of seeing Cape Town, and with the just launched City Sightseeing tour on the Cape Point Explorer bus, you can spend a full day taking in some of the most breathtaking sights the city has to offer. From the scenic seaside towns of Muizenberg and Kommetjie to the jaw-dropping views of the Ou Kaapse Weg mountain pass, this trip will feature it all.

Along the way, see the famous African penguin colony at Boulders Beach, take a ride up The Flying Dutchman Funicular to the viewing point at the lighthouse, enjoy a delicious meal overlooking the sea at the Two Oceans Restaurant or stroll through the fynbos to the Cape of Good Hope headland. The Cape Point Explorer costs R550 for adults or R275 for children and includes entrance to the Cape Point Nature Reserve and a live guided tour.
