The city of Cape Town is one of the largest cities of South Africa. The city lies at the foot of Table Mt., and on the shore of Table Bay.

Located in the Western Cape Province, a port on the Atlantic Ocean, in the south-west corner of the country near the Cape of Good Hope, Cape Town is the most southern city in African continent. The city is a stone's throw from South Africa's world-famous Cape Winelands around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek.

Cape Town was founded by the Dutch navigator Jan van Riebeeck for the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century. The city was originally developed as a victualling station for Dutch ships sailing to Eastern Africa, India, and Asia.

Today’s Cape Town is the 3rd most populous city in South Africa. It’s the part of the metropolitan municipality of the City of Cape Town. It is the provincial capital of the Western Cape, as well as the legislative capital of South Africa, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located.

Located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula, the centre of Cape Town offers exquisite mountainous setting. The city is beautifully hemmed in mesmeric Table Mountain and Signal Hill that can be regarded as a low-lying extension of the Table Mountain. Devil's Peak and Lion's Head, the beautiful mountainous backdrops are just bewitching. Sometimes a thin strip of cloud forms over the mountain, and it is affectionately termed as the “tablecloth” owing to its appearance.

Cape Town is also famous for its beauteous beaches. The beaches are very popular with tourists. The beaches on the Atlantic Coast have very cold water as the water is mostly glacial melt from Antarctica however the water at False Bay beaches is often warmer. There are numerous restaurants and cafes on the beaches. Boulders Beach is the most famous beach in Cape Town. The beach is for its colony of African penguins.
