Situated on a peninsula beneath the towering Table Mountain, Cape Town is a port city on the southwest coast of South Africa. The mountain's flat summit is reached by slowly rotating cable cars, from which there are expansive views of the city, the bustling harbor, and boats sailing to Robben Island, the infamous prison where Nelson Mandela was formerly detained and is now a living museum.
