There are many trails for hikers to explore Table Mountain, with Cape Town stretching out beneath it. The summit, an arid, windswept plateau rising up to 1,073m, contrasts with its slopes covered in luxuriant vegetation. It can be reached by cable-car or on foot for those who are up to it. The reward is a stunning view of Cape Town and the peninsula, even more magical in the evening in the last rays of sunlight.
