South Africa's Mother City sits beneath the flat-topped magnificence of Table Mountain at the confluence of two oceans. Penguin colonies at Boulders Beach, vineyards in Constantia, Robben Island's sobering history, and the extraordinary Cape Point national park make it one of the world's most scenically spectacular cities.
