THE CITY VIEWS OF LION'S HEAD
It’ll be hard to find a Capetonian that hasn’t reached the top of the iconic Lion’s Head peak at least once. On a clear day, the peak offers picture-perfect views of Table Mountain, Camps Bay, The 12 Apostles Mountain Range, Camps Bay and Clifton beaches, Signal Hill, Robben Island, and the city.

No serious Instagrammer should miss the award-winning architecture and fascinating exhibitions at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. It is housed in the old grain silo at the V&A Waterfront. Walk through 100 gallery spaces and don’t forget to take in the astounding interior, which was modelled from a piece of corn that was found in the old mill before construction began.
