Cape Town is breathtaking from above. Hell, it’s breathtaking from all angles and has to be a contender for one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Flanked by the impressive Table Mountain, the city curves around the coast like a loving hug, which fits with the city’s moniker: “the mother city.” Highest travel authorities like The Guardian, The New York Times, and TripAdvisor own named Cape Town a top destination, and we couldn’t agree more. It’s an incredibly diverse, gay-friendly city and it will blow you away with its beauty, the welcoming attitude of its residents, and the pure range of attractions and outdoor activities available, from hiking to shark diving to helicopter rides to wine drinking—yes, that counts as an outdoor activity if you do it at one of the many wineries surrounding Cape Town.
