Table Mountain’s cableway should be on every visitor’s list of things to do. From the base it’s a quick ride up to the top, and while you’re on your way you’ll have all-round views of the city. This option works well if you’re pushed for time, or don’t feel up to hiking. It’s also perfect for families with small children and others who wouldn’t manage the climb. Remember that the weather plays a big role in operating times, so have something else planned in case it’s not running.
