The Cape Town Big 6 are the city’s six most iconic destinations: Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, Robben Island Museum, V&A Waterfront, Groot Constantia, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and Cape Point.

Most visitors explore the Big 6 over two to three days, but to truly enjoy each experience, we recommend spending four to five days in Cape Town.
