Nicknamed 'the mother city' and located on the Western Cape of South Africa, Cape Town is the cultural and business center of South Africa. As such, it is the very heart and soul of this part of the continent. Founded in 1652, it was built by Indonesian, French, Dutch, British, and German settlers as well as the native Afrikaners who inhabit the Western Cape of South Africa. It has grown to a population of over 3,500,000, and so it is also the largest city in South Africa. Cape Town is strikingly beautiful as well. Sitting at the foot of the massive Table Mountain and surrounded by two oceans, the landscape of Cape Town has been captured by photographers from all over the world.

The landscape of Cape Town is unforgettable. The most outstanding feature of Cape Town is the constant and unavoidable presence of Table Mountain. Rising over 3,300 feet above the city bowl of Cape Town, it dominates the city and much of the Western Cape of South Africa. Riding the cable cars through the clouds to the top affords both a view of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans as well as the cliffs and coastline of the Cape. The weather of the Western Cape is generally mild year round, which makes Cape Town a pleasant place to live and work.

The suburbs of Cape Town located in the Western Cape of South Africa include every kind of municipality you can imagine: from quaint fishing villages, to the most upscale neighborhoods in South Africa. In these residential neighborhoods, you will find an incredible amount of local shopping, restaurants, and the largest collection of Cape Dutch style architecture in the world.

There are an endless amount of attractions in Cape Town including whale watching, diamond emporiums, and the beaches of the Western Cape 'Riviera,' but perhaps the most important sites to see are the historical ones. The Western Cape of South Africa is home to news-making places like Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner for his protests of apartheid.

These landmarks are important reminders of a time when Cape Town was forcefully segregated into restricted districts. In 1948, when apartheid was introduced, the Western Cape of South Africa experienced extreme unrest, with little economic growth. As the popularity of apartheid declined and prisoners were released, Cape Town was finally able to take its place as a world class venue.

Cape Town is definitely the most extraordinary city on the Western Cape of South Africa, and by international standards is considered to be a world class venue. It has overcome much political adversity to become a strong city for the western Cape of South Africa and a very bright economic future is predicted for this incredible city.
