The first edition of Time Out's guide to Cape Town covers all the attractions, from the historic city centre and Robben Island, to the African townships and Table mountain. The best hotels, clubs, restaurants, shops, beaches and bars are reviewed, with full up-to-date listings, insider tips, expert recommendations and local lore, as useful and interesting to the resident as the holiday visitor.

This increasingly popular destination features a heady mix of beautiful beaches, rural wine lands, and sizzling city life -- all covered in detail by Time Out's knowledgeable team of local journalists. This second edition contains a wealth of tips on enjoying Cape Town's best food and drinks, and also includes information on local cheese farms, strawberry picking, cigar bars, and spots to watch the sun set. Color photos and maps throughout make the guide even more user-friendly.
