When the workday is done, Cape Town offers many opportunities for cultural enrich- ment, recreation and entertainment. A must- see attraction is the infamous Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the most significant historical sites in South Africa, if not Africa. A former political prisoner serves as your guide telling interesting stories about the island, and famous ex-inmates like Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Govan Mbeki. Be sure to block out enough time to visit the iconic Table Mountain, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Boulders Beach, one of the few sites in the world where the endangered African penguins can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. The beach is also surrounded by large 540 million year-old granite boulders, small rock pools and little bays in close proxim- ity of the flightless little swimming birds. For shoppers, the V&A Waterfront is a world-class retail and entertainment precinct offering more than 80 eateries, 450 shops, muse- ums, ocean activities, and fun experiences. The new Silo Precinct is an exciting new develop- ment that will be home to Zeitz MOCAA, two new hotels, shops and restaurants. Cape Town is also the home to nine international Blue Flag beaches including Bikini, Camps Bay, Mnandi, Strandfontein, Muizenberg, Llandudno, Clifton 4th and Melkbosstrand.
