Accommodations
There are so many places to stay in Cape Town. It doesn't matter if you're a backpacker or coming in for one luxurious stay.
For starters, The Bay Hotel, Kensington Place and Villa Zest Boutique Hotel are among the top picks for the high rollers. As for someone who's coming in with a family and would want to stay in a beautiful but not so expensive hotel, New Kings Hotel, City Lodge Pinelands and Park Inn are 3-star choices.
For backpackers, no need to fret because Forty8 Backpackers, Cape Town Hostel and Big Blue Backpackers Hostel are just a few of the many budget accommodations in the city.

Cape Town offers just about anything to any type of traveler. Whether you're coming in to party the night away, relish a few culture trips to the museums or simply enjoy the outdoors, the city guarantees you the stay of a lifetime.
Just walking down the Company's Gardens, you'll come across few of the most sought after museums and galleries any culture vulture would want to experience. Sights like the Iziko Museum, National Gallery and Houses of Parliament won't surely disappoint.

Outdoor freaks will surely get their fix once they head to Gansbaii- the white shark capital of the world. Here, one gets the chance to experience how to dive in shark-infested waters. As for mountaineers, take the Table Mountain Tour and see the breathtaking view of the city bowl.
