The Ultimate Guide To Exploring The Towns Within 120 Minutes Drive Of Cape Town

Cape Town, the "mother city", known for its scenic beauty, is a popular tourist destination. However, beyond the city lies a plethora of towns and villages that offer equally stunning scenery, accommodations, restaurants, and vineyards. These towns are all within a maximum of 120 minutes drive from Cape Town city centre and the Cape Peninsula, making them easily accessible to anyone with a vehicle.

The towns surrounding Cape Town cater to different tastes, expectations and interests of travellers.

For wine connoisseurs, there are three popular towns worth visiting – Franschhoek, Paarl, and Stellenbosch. Each surrounding town is famous for its wineries, vineyards, restaurants and accommodation where tourists can enjoy wine tasting, cellar tours, and pairing exquisite wines with delicious gourmet meals.

Apart from these popular wine towns, there are lesser-known destinations, for example, Tulbagh and Wellington. Yes, they are certainly not near as touristy as the others, but in our opinion, just as interesting, without the maddening crowds of tourists.

Over the next few months and years, the team at Uyaphi.com will add more content, including photo galleries, showcasing these towns as destinations and their surrounding activities, vineyards, and scenery. This content will provide tourists with a comprehensive guide and insight into each town, enabling them to choose from the available options. Whether it is an Atlantic Ocean fishing village on the West Coast, an Overberg village or Hermanus (and Walker Bay for some whale watching and shark cage diving), we will cover them all.

In conclusion, Cape Town's surrounding towns offer a variety of destinations for different kinds of tourists. They provide stunning scenery, accommodations, restaurants, vineyards, and adventure activities that make them must-visit places for travellers.

    Design in Cape Town

    Cape Town is experiencing an exciting wave of investment, community involvement and physical regeneration due to its designation as the World Design Capital 2014.

    This has been evident in the seaside suburb of Muizenberg, where dead corners and buildings have been transformed into vibrant areas full of life.

    The murals, sculptures and shops that are popping up all over town are a testament to the power of good design and art in revitalising this once down-at-heel resort.
