It was absoutely fantastic standing on the top of table mountain the view was fantastic (although it was very cold up at the top - so even if it is a sunny day when you set off pack a jumper just in case.) I am incredibly scared of heights and really wanted to do it but dreaded it at the same time. The cable car up to the summit was really scary as the floor revolved so i couldn't even cling on to the side of the cable car, but getting to the top was so worth it, the view was fantastic and I am so glad I did it. Anyone who is worried about doing it, then i urge you please do it was fantastic and I am so glad i did it.

me and my family climbed to the top of the mountain and were auxuoisted, but it was worth it and you could see everything and it was breathe taking and it was a chance in a life time to see it omg. when we went down the mountain cause it was a little harder because your being pulled down but i would defeniteley go back.

You cannot visit Cape Town and not go to the top of Table Mountain. After all, the city wraps around Table Mountain, and the flat topped mountain gives the city it's distinctive skyline. There are two options to get to the top of Table Mountain: 1) climb 2) take the aerial cableway. A group of friends and I were going to climb to the top, but some recent robberies on the path prompted us to take the cable car instead.

NOTE: The cableway shuts down in high winds, so it's hard to plan ahead to visit the mountain. Instead, you should monitor conditions throughout the day, and then go.

Taking the cable car to the top is probably the best part of the entire experience. The cablecar revolves and so all passengers get great views the entire way up. Once at the top, there are several paths all over the mountain to take. The views are SPECTACULAR! Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world and you can really appreciate the beauty from the top of Table Mountain. You can even see down to the Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope.

If you visit Cape Town, you cannot leave without visiting Table Mountain!

I'm scared of heights so the thoughts of going up and down the mountain in a cable car was quite daunting, but I made it and I'm still here to tell the story!

Everyone warns you that timing is all on a visit to Table Mountain - be aware that it took us three visits to arrive and find ideal weather (despite it being ideal in Hout Bay where we were based. Don't leave it until the last day of your holiday!

We had breakfast in the restaurant, it wasn't worth the money, it wasn't the quality we'd got used to and one tip if you have to eat, get your partner to go through to get coffee's etc while you queue for food as our breakfast nearly went cold in the time it took to get coffee - South Africans work at another pace!

The mountain itself, what can I say? Allow at least three hours, take a jumper or light coat in case it turns cold and ENJOY IT!
