Best for
First-time visitors who want a full overview of Cape Town, Table Mountain, the Waterfront and the Winelands — all on one ticket.
Good to know
The Blue and Purple routes run less frequently (hourly). Plan those as half-day trips. The Table Mountain Cableway often closes in high wind — check conditions before hopping off at that stop.
