The 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa has offered the city
the opportunity to build a multi-purpose international stadium that will be
used for a variety of events after the tournament has left Cape Town's shores
The new stadium is to be built on a 10.6 hectare site in the
suburb of Green Point, within walking distance of the city's popular Victoria and Alfred
Waterfront at a cost of R2.5bn according to the Sapa news agency. Upon
completion, Green Point stadium will have a gross seating capacity of 70,000
and it is scheduled for completion by 2009.
Chapmans Peak Drive
Chapman’s Peak Drive between Noordhoek and Hout Bay on the Atlantic Coast on the south-western tip of South Africa is one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. The 9 km route with its 114 curves skirts Chapmans Peak, the 593 m southerly extension of Villa coloniale Berg and follows the rocky coastline to unfold stunning views in both directions.
Constantia Valley
Constantia Valley is the birthplace of the wine farming
industry in South Africa.
As you drive through the beautiful historical Valley it is no wonder the first
Governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel,
chose this situation for his farm, Groot Constantia.
Groot Constantia Estate is where the roots of the South
African wine industry lie and it is the oldest wine producing farm in South Africa.
It was developed by Simon van der Stel in 1685. Since then, Groot Constantia
has had an uninterrupted record of being a wine farm and its name is forever
linked to the most famous wines that were made in South Africa
Cape Point
Cape of Good Hope is another breathtaking place to go, that you shouldn`t miss! It`s a good opportunity to drive along “Chapman`s Peak Drive” & enjoy the spectacular views. In the Good Hope Nature Reserve you will certainly meet baboon families. Watch out, they can become very cheeky. If you are lucky you will also see zebras, ostriches & antelopes. Be aware that at the Cape it`s mostly windy & chilly.
Kirstenbosch Gardens
Founded in 1913, Kirstenbosch lies on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
It consists of landscaped gardens of indigenous plants and trees, watered by
the Liesbeek River, as well as natural forest that
extends up the lower slopes. Kirstenbosch covers an area of 828Ha, 60 ha of
which are cultivated; the remainder is a natural flora reserve.
Steenberg Golfclub
The 18 hole championship golf course meanders
leisurely through the Steenberg vineyards, pine forests and gentle waterways.
The course features four distinct areas: Wetlands, Parklands, The Cape Flats
and Fynbos. With five different tees, the course can be enjoyed by all, from
championship to junior level. Many golfers envy the superb condition of this
soft spike course and it is widely renowned for having the best greens in Cape Town. There are also
a number of practice areas, including a driving range, chipping area with sand
traps and a large putting green
