South Africa

Cities

City · 4.8M people Cape Town Cape Town's districts explained, from the walkable City Bowl to the wind-hit Atlantic Seaboard, and which side suits your trip.
City · 17k people Franschhoek Franschhoek is one handsome street, serious food, and the Winelands' highest prices. Here is when it earns a night and when a day trip is enough.
City · 38k people Hermanus Hermanus is famous for clifftop whale watching from June to November, but the Hemel-en-Aarde wine route and coastal walks make it a year-round stop.
City · 77k people Knysna Knysna is the Garden Route's lagoon town, with the Heads viewpoint and a big oyster festival, but it is not automatically the best base.
City · 155k people Stellenbosch Stellenbosch is the Winelands town you can walk around, with a real centre, nearby wine estates, and a less frantic pace than Franschhoek.
