60 days in Cape Town & Amsterdam Itinerary

Sweeping beaches, towering hilltops, and picturesque vineyards adorn the landscape of Cape Town, dominated by the imposing Table Mountain.

Take a break from the city and head to Boulders Beach Penguin Colony and Camp's Bay Beach. Do some cultural sightseeing at Franschhoek Motor Museum and Robben Island Museum. Venture out of the city with trips to Hermanus (Grotto Beach, Kwaaiwater, &more), Kraalbaai Beach/Lagoon (in Langebaan) and Shark Diving (in Gansbaai). There's still lots to do: take in the awesome beauty at Lion's Head, hike along Platteklip Gorge, learn about winemaking at Fairview Wine and Cheese, and get great views at Cape Point.
