One of the most iconic landmarks in Cape Town, Table Mountain offers visitors breathtaking views of the city, the coastline, and Robben Island. While many opt for the cable car ride, hiking enthusiasts can tackle the mountain via several trails. Platteklip Gorge is the most popular route, taking about 1.5 to 2 hours to ascend. More adventurous hikers can explore Skeleton Gorge or India Venster. The summit offers 360-degree views, making the effort well worth it. For those seeking a less strenuous option, the rotating cable car provides a smooth ride to the top.
