A range of jagged mountains thrusting into the splendid desolation of the southern Atlantic, the Cape Peninsula is one of the world's most beautiful places.

Cape Town, the Southern Peninsula, Blaauwberg, Helderberg, Tygerberg and Oostenberg form the Cape Metro pole, a large, ultramodern city covering the sandy plains running from the mountain's feet to the Hottentots Holland range in the purple distance.

Pristine beaches, sheltered bays and secluded coves encircle the majestic might of Table Mountain, a World Heritage Site and home to some 8 500 species of flower.

Between the mountain's looming crags and Table Bay's deep blue sweep lies South Africa's Mother City and the cosmopolitan hub of the Western Cape Province - Cape Town.

The best way to revel in the Peninsula's unrivalled beauty is to travel to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve along one of two coastal drives, each dramatically different.

To the west, the famous Chapman's Peak route via Hout Bay and the endless, white expanse of Noordhoek's Long Beach.

The False Bay road hugs the mountainside, snaking past Fish Hoek, a popular family beach, Kalk Bay, a fishing village imbued with character and colour, and Muizenberg, renowned for its safe swimming, excellent surfing and colourful bathing boxes.

False Bay is home to the infamous Great White Shark and shark cage diving expeditions can be done a mere hour's drive away.

Life in the City Bowl centers around the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, a pulsating waterfront Mecca, historical site and working harbor offering everything from up market shopping malls, arts and crafts markets, theatres and live music to entertainment showpieces including the Telkom Exploratorium and the awe-inspiring Two Oceans Aquarium.

Museums and art galleries abound and South Africa's oldest building, the Castle of Good Hope, is in the city centre.

The cobbled streets of Bo-Kaap with their delightful old buildings and the first mosque in South Africa stand in cultural contrast to the buildings of the oldest homestead and wine farm in the Cape, Groot Constantia.

On the Constantia wine route, Groot Constantia is tied by history and the vine to estates in the Helderberg and Durbanville.

For the energetic and those wanting to explore the abundance of the Cape Floral Kingdom's fauna and flora, there are many walks and climbs: Up Table Mountain or Lion's Head, through the Silvermine or Tygerberg Nature Reserves, Newlands Forest, the Cape of Good Hope or Helderberg Nature Reserves, or one of several other inner-city wildlife areas. (24-hour petrol and banking facilities are available throughout the Cape Metro pole and its surrounds.)
