Taking cabs or using rideshare apps can easily set you back hundreds of dollars. Renting a car can set you back even more and leave you dealing with the anxiety of finding suitable parking. With a hop on hop off bus company like City Sightseeing, you can purchase a half-day, full-day, or multi-day bus pass that's sure to take you to most of the major attractions. Prices start at just $15 USD. In Cape Town, each bus on the City and Cape routes are equipped with a wheelchair access ramp, room for wheelchair seating, and an audio tour in 16 different languages.

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town is an excellent place for shopping, entertainment, food, and taking in views of the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain. It’s also home to the Two Oceans Aquarium, daily departures to Robbin Island, and incredible live musical performances.

When it comes to great views, excellent service, and top-notch amenities, I highly recommend the Taj Hotel, Cape Town. It’s quite affordable and offers some of the best views of Table Mountain as well as a convenient home base for all tourist attractions. I could literally sit in my deep soaking bathtub and look out to these stunning views of Table Mountain while caring for my aching joints.
