Essential Cape Town
2 days minimum
Cape Town + beyond
5+ days

A five-day rhythm

Day 1
Orientation
Bo-Kaap, the city centre and V&A Waterfront, with a long lunch and an easy evening.
Day 2
Mountain & Gardens
Take the cableway in clear weather, explore Kirstenbosch, then dine in the city.
Day 3
History & Art
Book Robben Island or visit District Six; add Zeitz MOCAA and a waterfront lunch.
Day 4
Day Trip
Cape Point and Boulders penguins, with a coastal stop; keep the day unhurried.
Day 5+
Go Deeper
Browse Kalk Bay, visit Norval Foundation or explore Stellenbosch with a full extra day.
Honest thought: keep mountain and ferry plans flexible for spring wind and rain. Two days give a glimpse; five allow time for neighbourhoods and a day trip.
