IT COULD BE ARGUED THAT CAPE TOWN IS ONE OF THE MOST SPECTACULAR cities on earth. Even if you’re here for work, it fools you into feeling like you’re on vacation. Here, locals seem to live by a different clock. There’s less pressure, less stress, and more life. The goal here isn’t just to live, it’s to live well. So, here’s my guide to make the most of one day in the sun.
Premium Vistas
Awake before sunrise, and, in darkness, arrive at the base of Lion’s Head. It’s the mountain of lioness proportions in between Table Mountain and Signal Hill. The trek itself to its peak takes around an hour, yet the reward from the top — where the sun slowly protrudes over the top of Table Mountain, reflecting off the sea that surrounds you — is truly one of this planet’s most memorable sights.
