Cape Town needs 4 days: Table Mountain and downtown on one, the Cape of Good Hope on another, Robben Island (where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned) on the third, and the Stellenbosch vineyards on the fourth. November-March (southern hemisphere summer) brings the best weather. It's expensive by South African standards, though more affordable than comparable European destinations. It's recognized as one of the world's most beautiful cities for its unique combination of mountain, ocean and vineyards, and Table Mountain is one of the 7 natural wonders of the modern world.
