Some call it the Cape Town CBD, some call it the City Centre, but many refer to it as the City Bowl. And what an Apt name it is, for the heart of the city, a natural Amphitheatre shaped area, lies in a basin between the waters of Table Bay and the face of Table Mountain and is flanked by Devils Peak on one side and the mountains of Lion's Head and Signal Hill on the other. South Africa's oldest city is truly a wonder, with a mixture of beautiful old building tucked away among modern skyscrapers. A walk along the streets of the area will surely be a lesson in the history of the city dating back hundreds of years.

Explore Woodstock, one of the oldest suburbs in Cape Town, not forgetting to visit the Old Biscuit Mill while there, or take a trip to the Bo-Kaap and take a stroll through the narrow streets, admiring the local Cape Malay architecture, while savoring some of the local delicacies at one of the very atmospheric restaurants. For the young at heart, visit the suburb of De Waterkant, an area filled with trendy restaurants, bars and night clubs. It is also here that you will find the ever popular Pink Village, the gay capital of the Western Cape.
