With its majestic icon Table Mountain backdrop and pristine beaches, Cape Town is considered one of the most beautiful, culturally diverse cities in Africa.  A harmonious blend of architectural styles reflects the tastes of the past as well as today’s more functional requirements.  I hired a vehicle from cape town car hire to explore Cape Town’s shopping options, the elegant malls such as the Victoria Wharf at the V & A Waterfront, the antique shops, craft markets, flea markets and the art galleries abound.  Lovers of fine wines have a treat in store with the Constantia Winelands producing some of the finest wines worldwide.
