Must see when you are in Cape Town. You can take the cableway to the top and walk around on top of the mountain . Good tour is to walk to Maclear’s Beacon . Don't forget water & sun blocker! Read more

Has to be one of the best venues you ever going to experience . Views fantastic . When on the summit you feel a special energy . Go up there and experience 1 of the 7th modern day wonders of the world

Tobias Weißenfels

Come on a sunny day and walk the Smuts Track (no climbing but intermediate hiking ). Last part dangerous if cloudy or windy. But the view is worth the walk up. Calculate 4-4,5 hours from KirstenboschBG

Walked up via Platteklip Gorge and it was well worth it. Don't pay a guide to get exercise on your time. Just prepare sensible clothes and sunblock then look forward to the amazing views !

Yuri Ramocan

Set aside ~3 hours to hike up the mountain if you can, otherwise take the cable car up and enjoy the views . I recommend going later in the day to catch sunset or earlier for sunrise.

Nedaa Hadi

Best thing I've ever experienced in my entire life, incredible place. I touched the clouds there!

Kalle R

One of the most amazing places on earth, trust me. Worth coming to South Africa for.

LOLA

anastasia fragkaki

if you go on summer definitely you will be burn, so be careful. they have to ways to go on table mountain one with teleferic or by feet is the long way.but its worth because you can see cape town

Lindsey Warren

If you are taking the cableway both ways make sure to explore the paths at the top for additional views , flora and fauna. Wear sneakers if you plan to do this.

Carles Medina Cuevas

Climbing 🧗‍♂️ it by yourself is definitely a worth adventure. Take your time, enjoy the nature and be prepared for an amazing adventure!!!

Amanda Thau

So serene! They have a few paths that you can take - each with a different trail/length. Make sure to spot some dassies!

Ruan Pienaar

Its a new seventh wonder and is a easy hour climb to the top. Favourite routes, Rhodes to Kirstenbosch, skeleton gorge, indian venster and kloof corner.

Stefania Bertorelle

If you want to go up by walking be prepared to a very difficult walk, particularly the final part. The view from the top is magnificent ... Something not to lose!

Nate S

If you want a good photo of yourself on Table Mountain , go to the top in late afternoon/early evening for the best light. Mornings = backlit

Paige Hunter

One of the best views I've seen. Make sure to go on a clear day!

Cybercellar

Hike it if you haven't already! All you will need is a good pair of hiking shoes and some fabulous bubbly to crack open when you get to the top. Great way to spend a sunny summer Saturday :-)

Dimi

If you have time and are reasonably fit, hike up. India Venster is a beautiful, though slightly challenging hike .

Jessica Amo

Absolutely beautiful views ! Do buy online in advance, it makes it much quicker. Try and go early, it gets very busy past midday.

Lui Lee Bastareche

The most amazing place I've been!!! Its so stunning view from the top!

Lucas Bleibtgeheim

Arrive at 7:30 and get the tickets online so you don’t have to wait. After 8 o’clock it takes forever to get up!

Klas-Herman Lundgren

Visit during the sunset !

vanton

Jaw dropping view especially during the sunset . Half price tickets if you get one of the last funiculars.

Talha Asmal

If going during the summer months , the sunset special (50% discount after 6) is more than sufficient to experience Table Mountain at its best. Just make sure it's not too windy.

Humaid Binyelaiyel

Amazing experience, a must in Cape Town

Sam Horine

If you're checking in then you already know how awesome this spot is. Like you'd come to Cape Town and not go here anyway...lolz

Clive Bruyne

Bring wine/snacks and enjoy sunset on top of Table Mountain, the cable way is open until just after sunset during the summer months . Make sure the wind isn't going to pick up! Capetowntourguide.com

Johannes Steudle

Of course the must have been place for Cape Town! Beautiful scenery , absolutely awesome!

Jessica M.

Killer views of the amazingly beautiful Cape Town - worth a hike around the top.

Tanya Evseenkova

Amazing views . But if you want hiking learn the route carefully because we have problems with navigation

Marci Fetcher

A must in case the weather is good! Plan some time on top - awesome

Hind .

Unforgettable experience, you can see Cape Town from top

reece pacheco

sunset is pretty stunning! loooong lines for the funicular back down... bring a jacket for the wait.

Greg Chen

No matter how tough you think you are, make sure to bring a wind breaker jacket up there. Holy sh*t.

Yajna Gold

Beautiful 360 degree views of Cape Town city ! Weather can vary up there... and the walking trails are nice too!

Amoré Jooste

Dress warm, jacket , hoodie only warm clothing even if it's boiling hot down come up dressed warm, brings gloves also with if you like

sara alswailem

Was an amazing experience worth the try..

Jordi Casinos

Bring sunblock, and use it. The mountain 's 1000m above sea level and while the heat in a sunny day's more bearable, you'll pay for it if you don't.

Andrew O BC 翁

Great scenic views & grab a panoramic view from the top

Jessica Heuse

Absolute must-do for world travelers. Take the hike up, it is soooo worth it.

Ju S.

The most beautiful view of Cape Town!

özlem

Britannica

The highest point is Maclear’s Beacon (3,563 feet), which is named for a stone-cairn trigonometrical beacon placed on the northeastern face by Sir Thomas Maclear in 1865

Dimi

Should be on the top of your list of things to do in Cape Town. Cable cart doesn't run if it's too windy.

Business and Travel Opportunities Network
