One of the highlights of our trip with amazing views over the city and further a field.Some choose the option to hike which takes 2 hours to do but we opted for the cable car. Be aware of the cloud so dont leave the visit to the end of the holiday in case its cloudy. Once at the top apart from the amazing views there is plenty to do including hiking trails, free walking tours , restaurant, waterworks and you can even abseil down the mountain.A must visit place if in Cape town.

We chose this hotel as it was out of Cape Town but close enough to visit the V&A and Camps bay (the hotel provided a free shuttle). From start to fishing everything was first class and the hotel catered well for all of its guests. Stunning coastal views from the pool and leopard bar, as well as great views of the 12 Apostles from the many walking trails and picnic spots around the hotel. Food and drink were reasonable priced be sure to eat at all the restaurants the conservatory was our favourite. The staff really made our visit, nothing was to much trouble, for example we were provided with a breakfast box when we missed breakfast due to our Table Mountain morning hike. Overall a great 5 start traditional hotel. I would thoroughly recommend.
9. Lion's Head
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 4,305 reviews
Lion's Head in Cape Town is a peak situated at 669 meters above sea level. The hike up Lions Head takes approximately 90 minutes at a moderate pace. Lions Head trail is steep but do-able, while the 5.5km trail packs a punch (Both ways). The views from Lions head are amazing. Take a look around you and see the beauty. Lions Head hike is the preferred route for mountain enthusiasts, the easiest of the routes in Cape Town.

Although lesser in height than Table Mountain, it offers a great hike to the top, and unsurpassed views over the city, the bay and Robben Island. If you have the time and energy, you should definitely try to scale it.
