Ok i'll admit it, we took the cable car. But Table Mountain is amazing, it's got a really special feeling to it that I can't quite explain. Don't miss out just because you think it's too touristy, you won't regret it!

Even more spectacular than you think it's going to be! I know it's a Cape Town clichee tourist activity but if I were you I wouldn't care and would go up all the same. We took the cable car to be lame but there are also plenty of paths to the top to choose from.

You can't go to Cape Town and not go up the mountain, especially when the cable car makes things so easy! I think it might be the best place i've ever been, the views are just amazing! I even sent myself a postcard from the top so that I could arrive home to a table-mountian-postmarked postcard!

Cable car from Tafelberg Road, about 15 mins from the city centre by car, it's well signposted too.

Breathtaking and magnificent are the words that come to mind after taking a trip to the top of Table Mountain. This is one of the most spectacular views you will ever see from the top of any mountain (and I've been to several). As you ascend to the top in the rotating cable car, you are able to take in the entire landscape of Cape Town and the surrounding area. The ride is about 10 minutes, but it goes by quickly. Once you get to the top, there is a great little cafe where you can get a good meal while still enjoying the view. There are also several nature walks at the top of the mountain, which provides opportunities to see local flower, fauna and animal life. This is a great family activity and one point of interest you won't soon forget.
