Editor's Choice: Cape Town Highlights

Cape Town’s landscape is defined by Table Mountain’s iconic flat-topped silhouette and the diverse flora of Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, situated on its eastern slopes. Along the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the Two Oceans Aquarium showcases marine life from where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. The city's historical and scientific contributions are highlighted at the South African Jewish Museum, which details immigrant heritage, and the Heart of Cape Town Museum in Observatory, the site of the world’s first successful human heart transplant.
