Cape Town<\/a> is one of South Africa\u2019s most popular destinations. Explore its wealth of historic architecture (such as the Castle of Good Hope), iconic natural landmarks (including Table Mountain), electric nightlife (that would be Long Street), and easy access to the other major attractions of the Western Cape.<\/p>\n
