All of the suggested Cape Town sights or activities are <strong>well worth the visit<\/strong> and will most likely keep you busy for a couple of hours. So, even if it might seem that you\u2019ll spend too much time for one of them, it will be worth it. After over 20 years of traveling experience, I have (slowly but surely) learned that it is better to <strong>shorten your bucket list<\/strong> of activities and enjoy them to the fullest, than run around like mad to see them all.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/86668815_3199827070047192_7968293807399632896_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;_nc_sid=a61e81&amp;_nc_ohc=owj_5dvOco4AX9KmOlQ&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-vie1-1.xx&amp;oh=21897ae10ca0d2fa259535f2c6b4cd66&amp;oe=5EB655AC\" alt=\"Image may contain: one or more people, people standing, ocean, sky, outdoor, nature and water\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>1. Hike the Lion\u2019s Head mountain <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>With its peak at <strong>669 meters above sea level<\/strong> one could hardly call Lion\u2019s Head a mountain. But the hike up to the summit is challenging enough to take it with respect. Nestled between Table Mountain and Signal Hill, Lion\u2019s Head offers <strong>spectacular 360-degree aerial view of Cape Town<\/strong> and its surroundings. Hiking Lion\u2019s Head is <strong>a must for all nature lovers<\/strong> and it offers a good alternative if you don\u2019t have the time (or if the weather doesn\u2019t permit) to hike the famous Table Mountain. The first part of Lion\u2019s Head trail is rather easy and if you are not very fit, you can do it half way only \u2013 the awesome views start quite soon and even if you stop and turn at any time, you won\u2019t regret doing it. The last third of the hike <strong>involves some climbing<\/strong> so make sure to wear some decent shoes (\u201cNike\u201d should be fine, if you are used to hiking). Try to get up as early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as possible &#8211; summers can be quite hot, and you\u2019ll catch better light for photos.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 70-90 minutes to reach the summit (give or take; we did it in 50) and the rest is up to you.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> There is no entrance fee to Lion\u2019s Head. Parking is subject to availability and is free of charge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine this activity with:<\/strong> If you rented a car, drive a bit further to <strong>Signal Hill<\/strong> (literally around the corner). From there you\u2019ll see the <strong>Olympic stadium<\/strong>, which is really a nice sight. Then go to your room, take a shower and spend the rest of the day in <strong>Camps Bay<\/strong> or in <strong>V&amp;A Waterfront<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-1024x693.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"690\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-1024x693.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-300x203.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-768x520.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-690x467.jpg 690w, https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko-384x260.jpg 384w, https:\/\/www.travelwithanda.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/5-things-to-do-in-cape-town-boulders-beach-blog-anda-arko.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<h5><strong>2. Swim with penguins at Boulders Beach <\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Well, in theory you CAN swim with African penguins but in reality, the water is a little bit too cold for most of the people. Nevertheless, a trip to Boulders beach is <strong>an absolute must<\/strong> for everyone visiting Cape Town. It is not every day you meet the <strong>penguins in their natural habitat<\/strong>! Boulders Beach is a National Park, so you will need to pay an entrance fee. Sure, there are signs on the road that say \u201cPenguins crossing\u201d, but don\u2019t get too excited \u2013 they don\u2019t just wander around. As the matter of fact, they are more or less <strong>congested in two places<\/strong>, one in each entrance. First one is the \u201copen beach\u201d entrance side where you can literally <strong>swim with them<\/strong>. The first part of this beach is open for swimming, and penguins occasionally come here too. After climbing some big rocks (boulders) you will get to the second part of the beach where you will be rewarded with really <strong>beautiful scenery<\/strong>. Take your time and observe the penguins going in and out of the water. They are super cute! If you don\u2019t want to climb the rocks, just go to the <strong>other entrance<\/strong> (where most people go), walk along the wooden pathway and observe them from the deck. Still a sight to remember.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 40 \u2013 50 minutes to reach Boulders Beach from Cape Town by car. If you visit Cape Town in Summer you might want to spend the whole day there and catch some vitamin D.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> You\u2019ll pay around 10 USD per adult to enter the Boulder\u2019s Beach National park. Hint: if you want to save money and still see the penguins, there is another beach just a mile before Boulders. You\u2019ll see a sign \u201cPenguin watching\u201d on the road. This is a public beach, quite crowded and not really a sight for sore eyes. But the penguins ARE there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine this activity with:<\/strong> Stop in lively <strong>Simon\u2019s Town<\/strong> for lunch or drinks. Since your feet are already sandy, turn back to the West side of Cape peninsula towards <strong>Long Beach<\/strong> near Kommetjie. Take a looooong walk on the beach and just observe people playing with their dogs. I am used to beautiful beaches but the crystal-clear water here really knocked me down. Pity one can\u2019t swim in it!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/87299594_3213853205311245_4738941926563119104_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&amp;_nc_sid=a61e81&amp;_nc_ohc=6S6Ym9_FJ8cAX-qaOZG&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-vie1-1.xx&amp;oh=ccc638871733147baf7edbf27ef45bed&amp;oe=5EBC52D4\" alt=\"Image may contain: ocean, sky, outdoor, nature and water\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>3. Visit Cape Point (and Cape of Good Hope) National park<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Cape Point National park entrance fee is considered amongst the highest in Cape Town but once you see its glory and realize what it takes to maintain the area, you\u2019ll get over it in a second. And yes, it is worth the visit. First, you\u2019ll meet a lot of <strong>baboons<\/strong> (which are supposed to be dangerous so you shouldn\u2019t feed or reach for them). Second, you\u2019ll reach <strong>Africa\u2019s most<\/strong> <strong>South-Western point<\/strong> (*rolls eyes*). Third and most important, you\u2019ll see some <strong>fantastic cliffs and wild beaches<\/strong>. If you\u2019re up to stretching your legs, there are quite a few hiking trails in the park.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> 1 hour to reach Cape Point National park entrance gate by car from Cape Town. Nature lovers will easily spend the whole day there.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> around 20 USD per person; there is also a restaurant (with a view), so if you are in the mood for some fancy dining, prepare to open your wallet a little bit more.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine this activity with:<\/strong> If you are in a hurry, you can combine this one with <strong>Boulders<\/strong> (it is practically on the way). You can do both in one day and still enjoy yourself. Days in Cape Town are long, especially in Summer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/86263657_3199829090046990_7735776432751640576_o.jpg?_nc_cat=105&amp;_nc_sid=a61e81&amp;_nc_ohc=AwJiwxmUnx4AX81d_8P&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-vie1-1.xx&amp;oh=55e8c130d5d73bd980dfa44532ecae86&amp;oe=5EF3E16E\" alt=\"Image may contain: mountain, sky, ocean, outdoor, water and nature\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>4. Eat, drink and shop in V&amp;A Waterfront<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>You don\u2019t leave Cape Town without seeing its <strong>oldest harbor<\/strong>, the so-called <strong>Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.<\/strong> Words can hardly describe the vibrant pulse of this huge and carefully planned area, overlooking the Atlantic Ocean from one and Table Mountain from the other side. There are million things to do in V&amp;A Waterfront, such as <strong>museums, Two Oceans Aquarium<\/strong>, boat trips to <strong>Robben island<\/strong> or <strong>harbor cruises<\/strong>, scenic <strong>helicopter rides<\/strong>, hop on <strong>City Sightseeing bus<\/strong>\u2026 or, you can try the <strong>local food<\/strong> in the V&amp;A food market, shop local products and souvenirs in V&amp;A Watershed\u2026 oh and don\u2019t forget to breathe and enjoy the street music. This place is almost out of this world, well done, Cape Town!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duration:<\/strong> Urban enthusiasts will easily spend a whole day there; others combine it with Lion\u2019s Head hike or take the cable car to Table Mountain.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong> Free parking is available on the streets (might take some walking), or in several covered parking garages (1 hour costs less than 1 USD!). <a href=\"https:\/\/www.citysightseeing.co.za\/en\/cape-town\/all-tours-and-activities\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">City Sightseeing Bus<\/a> from 15 USD (well worth it!); Helicopter ride from 100 USD, 2 Oceans Aquarium 12 USD\u2026<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent-vie1-1.xx.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/87029764_3213940495302516_7904028319123767296_o.jpg?_nc_cat=101&amp;_nc_sid=a61e81&amp;_nc_ohc=JzDbdAhpQXUAX9o4dBW&amp;_nc_ht=scontent-vie1-1.xx&amp;oh=ce0b8af714bbe2cc5d5e7c98064df7bc&amp;oe=5EF349C6\" alt=\"Image may contain: sky, ocean, bird, outdoor, water and nature\" \/><\/p>\n<h5><strong>5. Show your beach body and watch the sunset in Camp\u2019s Bay<\/strong><\/h5>\n<p>Have you been to Miami Beach? Well, Camp\u2019s Bay is similar but better. Vibrant panoramic coastal road with hundreds of more or less glamorous hotels, bars and restaurants, nestled between vast white sandy beach and fantastic 12 Apostles Mountain Range. I won\u2019t tell you what to do in a place like this \ud83d\ude09 If this is your cup of tea, go ahead and knock yourself out. Just make sure you stick around till sunset because sundowners at Camps Bay are gorgeous. Hint for cappuccino lovers: Caf\u00e9 Caprice is a must.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Duration: <\/strong>Like I said, do your own math. Just keep in mind that the ocean is too cold to swim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost: <\/strong>Street parking is usually free. Cappuccino in Caf\u00e9 Caprice: less than 3 USD. The food is a bit more expensive than in the rest of Cape Town but still very reasonably priced.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Combine this activity with:<\/strong> <strong>Table Mountain<\/strong> (cable car or hiking trail) and <strong>Lion\u2019s Head<\/strong> are very close; you can also make a scenic drive along the coast, all the way to <strong>Chapman\u2019s Peak scenic drive.<\/strong> I should have mentioned this one before, but honestly it doesn\u2019t take much planning and time. Just follow the map and drive\u2026 But be sure to do it! Either on your way to the south, or as a part of visiting <strong>Hout Bay<\/strong>, it is Cape Town\u2019s classics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class='adkingprobanneradsense sidebar banner344' rel='344'><script async src=\"\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6150236094919176\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1398083402\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><\/div><script type='text\/javascript'>ga('send', 'event', '', 'Impression', '');<\/script>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Like I said, <strong>2 days in Cape Town<\/strong> are <strong>not nearly enough<\/strong> to enjoy the city.
