Book excerpt: Drawing on the same standards of accuracy as the acclaimed DK Eyewitness Travel Guides, the DK Top 10 Guides use exciting photography and excellent cartography to provide a reliable and useful travel information. Dozens of Top 10 lists provide vital information on each destination, as well as insider tips, from avoiding the crowds to finding out the freebies, the DK Top 10 Guides take the work out of planning any trip. Cape Town is one of the most visited cities in Africa and is perched on a rugged stretch of land at the very tip of the continent, pounded by two thundering oceans and dominated by the iconic Table Mountain. With enough heart-pumping activities, from abseiling to paragliding, as well as more relaxed outings to beaches, vineyards and museums, the city easily captivates the visitor. From Robben Island to excursions to the Winelands and from the city’s historic center, Cape Town has a lot to offer.
