Table Mountain

Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately three kilometers (2 mi) from side to side, edged by steep cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. Every year we receive hundreds of thousands of visitors from far and wide. Planning a trip to visit Table Mountain is exciting, educational and can also be relaxing at the top. Before you arrive for your visit, there are definitely a few things that are important to plan or consider before your arrival.
