South Holidays

Cape Town is famously known as 'The Mother City', a nickname from the 1930's when the capital was considered to be the only metropolis in South Africa. The word 'metropolis' is a joining of the Greek words for 'mother' and 'city'. Nowadays, the country has more than one metropolis but it is the legislative capital of Cape Town that is the most popular with tourists on their South Africa holidays. This is because Cape Town offers so much for visitors to see and do. You simply can't leave South Africa without taking a cable car ride up to the infamous Table Mountain and viewing the breathtaking scenery surrounding Table Bay. Another of Cape Town's highlights is the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, which is now the most visited destination amongst tourists on their South Africa holidays. The beautiful Victorian-styled area features a number of incredible seafood restaurants, designer clothing shops and stunning boutique hotels which are perfect for guests looking for accommodation for their luxury holidays.
