Cape Town City

At first sight Cape Town seems to be quite small and neatly arranged. The reason for this is because of the massive "Table Mountain" that surrounds the town centre and seems to hold it like a bowl.

Accordingly the terrain between mountain and harbour is called the City Bowl. Here lies some of the oldest parts like Oranjezicht, Tamboerskloof Gardens, and the Bo Kaap (Malay Quarters).
The closer they are to Table Mountain, the steeper plots become.

In the City Bowl there are, besides shops and offices, a number of tourist attractions like, for instance, the Castle of Good Hope, City Hall, the park of Company's Garden, the Parliament and many museums. All these attractions can be reached on foot.
