Top 8 Monuments & Statues in Cape Town Central, Western Cape

December 22, 2021 Hana Mouser

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

This was our second trip to the monument. It was just as inspiring as the first time. The views are spectacular right across to the Helderberg and the Stellenbosch Mountains. There were several wedding parties taking photos there, as well as two models. The photos of the gigantic columns, steps and lions are very dramatic & have dramatic atmosphere. cutest little wedding chapel next to the lovely restaurant with al fresco casual dining with a view under huge stone pines.
