Table Mountain Cableway

Why it’s worth it

The cableway rises from the city slopes to the summit, with waits at the stations that are often short. Wind and cloud can halt service, so check conditions before leaving. At the top there are paved routes and a pizza-and-cake eatery, Ten67. Tickets are valid for seven days, and a Fast Track option lets you book a timeslot online.
