Cape Town Suburbs
THE SOUTHERN SUBURBS,
CONSTANTIA & HOUT BAY
 If
you love rugby or cricket head for Newlands and there is a large,
up-market shopping centre nearby in Claremont, Cavendish Square. On
the mountain slopes you will find Kirstenbosch Gardens, a definite
"must see." Around the corner is Constantia; here are some historic
and wonderful wine farms (such as Groot Constantia and Klein
Constantia), a very impressive shopping mall and some of the best
restaurants in the country. There is an extensive walking trail
across the Constantia valley.
On the other side of the mountain explore Hout Bay, the land of very
horsey, independent-minded people living in a fabulous valley. The
fishermen in the harbour are a highly spirited bunch. You can take
sea trips from here (see the seals on Duiker Island). If the
Chapman's Peak drive is open, it is a must-do—magnificent.
THE SOUTH PENINSULA
The south peninsula is mountainous and largely a National Park plus
some very charming seaside towns, notably the very British Simon's
Town, the fishing village at Kalk Bay, gorgeous Noordhoek and
Kommetijie and rustic Scarborough. The beaches are fabulous (and the
penguins think so, too); check out the little guys at Boulders Beach
near Simon's Town. The water is much warmer on the eastern side of
the peninsula. Cape Point and its massive Nature Reserve are within
easy reach and it is worth taking some time to explore the reserve.
For a famous picture stop go to the colourful beach huts at St James
and Muizenberg.
 THE
WINELANDS
The winelands are an extensive
area of wine and fruit farms in a mountain setting less than an hour
from Cape Town. There is a certain charm and dignity to the area and
some very pretty towns. There are many wine farms, in all styles and
sizes, but the taste and price are bound to please. Check out a
variety of big and small wine farms in different areas, but beware
of weekend closing. Don't miss the restaurants of Franschhoek and
spending time exploring the great beauty of Stellenbosch.
 THE
TOWNSHIPS
To get some valuable insight
into South Africa's political history and cultural diversity take a
township tour (specialist companies include African Dawn and
Grassroutes). For many people this turns out to be the unexpected
high point of their visit to Cape Town; the resilience, enterprise
and hope of these poor communities is very inspiring and the stories
of the past are a sobering insight into social planning gone mad. It
is not recommended that you try to tour the townships on your own,
take an organised tour with a specialist company.
THE NORTHERN SUBURBS
Predominantly Afrikaans, modern and suburban, these areas lie along
the N1 freeway. The classic view of Table Mountain is best viewed
from Blouberg. Century City is set to rival the Waterfront as Cape
Town's major leisure complex. The Durbanville Hills may of interest
to wine enthusiasts and the Tygervalley Centre for those born to
shop.
