Parks & Nature
The cable car doesn't run if weather is threatening so on your first wind-free day in Cape Town, head to Table Mountain. You can take the cable car up (5 minutes in a rotating funicular) or you can hike up (2.5 hours). Because it's always chillier up there, bring a wind jacket at least. http://www.tablemountain.net/content/page/quick-tips
