- The Castle of Good Hope is known locally as "The Castle". Its Dutch name is "Kasteel de Goede Hoop" and is a bastion fort built in the 17th century in Cape Town, South Africa. The Castle was originally on the coastline of Table Bay but, after reclamation, the fort is now inland within the Central Business District. The Castle was declared a historical monument (now a provincial heritage site) in 1936. Following restoration work in the 1980s, it is considered the best-preserved example of a 17th-century architectural structure in the entire world.
- This is a large Edwardian building in the Centre of Cape Town city. It was built in 1905, on the Grand Parade, West of the Castle of Good Hope. Messrs. Henry Austin Reid and Frederick George designed this building and is home to the Cape Philharmonic Orchestra, which performs concerts there regularly.
- The South African Museum houses more than one-and-a-half million specimens of scientific importance. The collections now range from fossils, which are almost 700 million years old, to insects and fish caught last week. There are also stone tools made by people 120,000 years ago, traditional clothes from the last century, and T-shirts printed yesterday.
- Gardens is an inner-city suburb of Cape Town just south of the city centre, in the higher elevations of the "City Bowl" and directly beneath Table Mountain and Lion's Head.
- The mountain is rich in diverse wildlife, including the rock hyrax and a rare species of frog aptly named the Table Mountain Ghost Frog as it can only be found in this area. Table Mountain is best known for its flat top because it resembles a tabletop, which has garnered the mountain its now famous name.
