South Africa road trip: City vibes and glamping nights

Even in your dreams, Cape Town just won't let you go. And that comes as no surprise! After all, the whole city exudes a super special vibe that's completely and utterly captivated you. Walking through the city's hip downtown area, you immerse yourself in the here and now. You stroll down Long Street – Cape Town's party strip – until you reach the most famous hotel in town, the Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel – 'Nellie' for short. When you arrive, you marvel at the pink facade that adorns the building and gives the hotel its other loving nickname, the 'Pink Lady'. You've now become a true Cape Town expert, but one highlight is still missing: Table Mountain! Take the next cable car (optional, payable on site) to the top and enjoy the unique view of bustling Cape Town against the deep blue sea. And if you haven't seen enough yet and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, the Cape Wheel or Camps Bay Beachfront are still on your bucket list, it's time to get ticking.

You already noticed quite some time ago that Cape Town lives up to its reputation as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. But have you seen the hipster neighbourhood of Woodstock yet? Once one of the most dangerous neighbourhoods in the city, it now attracts visitors with hip cafés, extraordinary restaurants, unique shops and boutiques, all of which you'll find along Albert Street. Artists have set up their studios in the many once empty warehouses there, and when you visit, you'll have the chance to buy some of their works. And it's not just in the studios that there's plenty of art to discover. As you stroll through the neighbourhood, you'll see tons of walls decorated with colourful graffiti that adds to the area's unique vibe. And when the sun starts to set, head up to Signal Hill. The fantastic views of Table Mountain, Robben Island, the Bo Kaap and the Waterfront are simply too beautiful not to enjoy one more time with a sundowner.
