In Cape Town, museums may not be at the top of your list, although there are some noteworthy ones. This city is a true paradise for those who prefer active, and sometimes extreme, vacations. The surrounding areas of Cape Town are recognized as some of the world's best locations for windsurfing, with kitesurfing being the second most popular sport. With the right waves and wind conditions, numerous instructors, and equipment rental points, there's something here for both beginners and pros.
For those seeking an adrenaline rush, you can arrange a cage dive with white sharks, take a leap from great heights with bungee jumping, or visit a crocodile farm. If these activities are too extreme for your taste, you can opt for fishing. And if you're in the country during the whale migration season, head to the town of Hermanus for a close encounter with these magnificent creatures.
However, don't forget about Cape Town's main attractions. Be sure to make time to ascend Table Mountain, which is depicted on the city's flag (you can reach the summit on foot or via cable car), explore the country's oldest surviving building - the Fortress of Good Hope, and appreciate the picturesque artworks at the National Gallery of South Africa.
