Sightseeing
Take the ferry from the Robben Island Gateway at the V&A Waterfront to visit Madiba's former prison. This is an experience that everyone should try at least once - whether you are from South Africa or visiting from abroad. The ferry trip takes you over the ocean, arriving at the docks of Robben Island. Once there, you will board a bus on a tour of the island, led by a former political prisoner. A tour of the jail where Madiba was kept follows. This is easily one of the most insightful tours that you could ever take in Cape Town.

Parks & Nature
While all of Clifton's four beaches are amazing, Clifton 1st is one of the most spectacular beaches in Cape Town. This breath-taking beach offers the best sunsets in town. While somewhat busier than the other four beaches, the world-class views make it well worth a visit. Million Rand yachts are found offshore, while the white sands and azure waters of the Atlantic are dramatically set against huge boulders. This beach is often compared to the South of France. Once you visit, you will soon see why!
