The top of Table Mountain offers spectacular views in all directions and gives a birds eye view of the city. The upper cable car station is situated at 1067 meters and the revolving cable car makes sure that your trip up and down gives you a good look in all directions.
Once on top you can follow paths to various look-outs, make use of the telescopes and enjoy a light meal or simply a sundowner drink in the restaurant.

Cape Town and Seasons
Cape Town's summer is generally from late October to March, winters are fairly cold and wet and the rainy months are June- August. Generally summers are hot, although Cape Town's coastal position brings moderating sea breezes. Spring and Autumn are mild and remain enjoyable months to visit Cape Town. August/September are the months for the vivid West Coast flowers and September - November are the best months for whale watching.
Cape Town is busiest during December and January when local schools are on holiday, although the tourist season extends from November to April.
