How to celebrate summer in style
While temperatures in European & other countries on the Northern hemisphere are dropping, summer has arrived in Cape Town! We'd like to share a few ideas on how to spend these summer days. In Style!
CapeTownMagazine.com would like to share a couple of ideas with you, on how to spend your summer in the Mother City. In style.

Breakfast Picnic at Clifton
Pack a picnic basket with fresh breads, a variety of cheeses, summer fruits, other sumptuous finger foods and of course bottle of bubbly (Kaapse Vonkel, perhaps?) and head off for Clifton Beach for breakfast. Here you can spend the entire day relaxing in the African sun, on one of the world's most beautiful and exclusive beaches

Hire a Cobra
For a five-plus star day rent a Cobra. Experience the feeling of cruising a classic high-powered car along for instance Camps Bay boulevard. CapeTownMagazine.com offers the possibility to a locally built Cobra Replica. Or any other luxury convertible. On a daily, weekly or monthly basis of course at an affordable price. Contact us for bookings and more information.

Wine & Gold: The Perfect Combination
Whilse sipping on a glass of wine sprinkeled with gold leaf, you will make your way through the Gold of Africa Museum. This fabulous museum is the personification of thousands of years of gold craftsmanship in Africa and boasts an incredible collection of gold artifacts associated with the wealth and power of West African kings. The pangolin tour starts later in the afternoon and early evening, and introduces you with the mysterious nocturnal world of African gold and pangolins captured in a flash of torchlight.

Afternoon Tea Mount Nelson
For a five-star afternoon, go to the 'Nellie' and indulge in a great selections of teas from all round the world as for instance Rooibos, Lapsang Souchong,  Earl Grey, Darjeeling, Orange & Cinnamon, Green tea & Mint, and Jasmine Green.

These and other teas are served with Pastrami Sandwiches, Smoked Salmon and Cucumber Sandwiches, South African cheeses, biscuits, quiche and savoury pies. And not to forget Scones and Strawberry Jam and an assortment of teacakes.

Champagne Cruise at the V&A Waterfront
After a warm welcome on board, you will be treated on a glass of champagne while sailing along the coast and in Table Bay.  It is one of the best ways, and a stylish one, to end a beautiful summer's day in Cape Town.
A Champagne Cruise is free with the Cape Town Pass, which you can book online with us. Apart from the Champagne Cruise this pass offers you more great, grand and stylish activities. Check it out here!

Cocktail Twelve Apostles
One of the best spots to have a mid-afternoon cocktail or a light lunch is the luxurious Twelve Apostles Hotel just outside of Camps Bay. From the deck of the hotel one has a splendid view over the Ocean, Table Bay, and of course the Twelve Apostles.
   
Picnic in the Winelands
Head off for the winelands for a sumptuous picnic at one of the exquisite wine estates as for instance Zevenwacht, Boschendal or Buitenverwachting. You can pack your own picnic basket or you can leave all the work to someone else. At Boschendal for instance, you simply purchase a basket that includes wine, cheeses, fruits, breads and much more. Sit down on the rolling lawns and enjoy your ‘Pique Nique'.

Helicopter Flight

Fly over Table Mountain and along the beautiful Atlantic Coast. See Clifton and Camps Bay from high above. Fly over the world's most breathtaking coastal drive; Chapman's Peak... Fly by helicopter to the winelands for a lunch. It is all possible in Cape Town!  There are several options when it comes to helicopter flights, from a 30-minute flight above the city of Cape Town to a 1-hour full Peninsula tour and a trip to the winelands.
