Table Mountain is one of Cape Town’s most iconic sights in the city with the shape of the mountain dominating the beautiful skyline. Considering the majesty of the mountain, it’s no wonder that the cable car, Cape Town, is a top tourist attraction and this is one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. Although there are many trails scaling the mountain, the cable car is an easier way to summit (or descend) as the ride boasts breathtaking panoramic views of Cape Town. Some of these include Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, Cape Town city centre, and even the West Coast. Depending on how much budget you have to spend on cable car tickets, there are a variety of options available. Here we explore the top options, namely a combo ticket with the hop-on-hop-off bus, a hike and cable way combo, and a private tour. Simply pick the option that best suits your needs.
