The Mother City is a city bursting with culture, history and natural beauty. One of the best ways to experience this is by visiting the Cape Town Big 6.
These six attractions are some of the city’s most popular places, including the Table Mountain Cableway, Robben Island Museum, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, V&A Waterfront, Cape Point and Groot Constantia.

Each of these offers a unique experience, from hitching a ride on the cable car to the summit of the iconic Table Mountain to learning about the history of South Africa at the Robben Island Museum and exploring diverse food flavours at the V&A Waterfront.
It is in this spirit that Groot Constantia extends an invitation to both locals and visitors to be tourists and let their wanderlust run wild as they explore all that South Africa’s oldest wine-producing farm and Cape Town have to offer this September and October.
