Cape Town City Tour with Table Mountain and Kirstenbosch Gardens The first stop (weather permitting) is Table Mountain's Lower Cableway Station, for a 5-minute revolving cable car ride to the top. We will explore the mountain's summit and absorb the breath-taking views before descending. We then return to the city via the old Cape Malay Quarter, for a walk through the Company Gardens, a fresh produce garden for ships and locals from the mid-17th century, and now home to the SA Museum, Houses of Parliament, National Gallery and St George's Cathedral. We stroll through the city to Greenmarket Square, where you can browse the bustling market stalls for beautiful and unique African mementos. From there we drive to the Castle, South Africa's oldest building, with its formidable collection of Old Cape paintings. Take in the nearby Grand Parade, where Nelson Mandela addressed the nation on his release in 1990, and then move on to the District Six Museum, which showcases the colourful life of this legendary area and the forced relocation of its residents during the Apartheid era. Finally we make our way to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, for lunch in arguably the most magnificent indigenous plant garden in the world. Founded in 1895, Kirstenbosch is set on the foothills of Table Mountain.
