Awarded by New York Times as the best place in the world to visit in 2014, Cape Town is a beautiful port city located on the Southwest coast of Africa.  Famous for the Table Mountain, where at least two couples get hitched every month, and for the Castle of Good Hope that is the oldest colonial building in this part of Africa, Cape Town is the epicenter of culture in South Africa and offers many sightseeing spots that are worth visiting. It was the first city outside of Europe to receive the blue beach status.

As for the nightlife in the city, well, let’s just say that the studies in 2011 have shown that almost half of the population in Cape Town consists of people below the age of 25. Points of interest that every visitor should definitely visit include the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden where you can walk around for hours and enjoy the beauty of this amazing place. The Boulders Beach famous for its granite boulders and white sand, Constantia that is located just outside the city and is well-known for wine tasting and safaris, and, of course, the Robben Island museum where Nelson Mandela served his sentence.
