Orbitz has picked their top five places to watch in the world and Cape Town, South Africa is in it.

Cape Town is growing rapidly as a favorite tourist destination in Africa. For travelers seeking the most popular sites in the city, be sure to explore the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and Table Mountain. The waterfront has more than 45 restaurants and 400 stores featuring everything from ethnic treasures, handmade art and gemstones to shark’s teeth and jewelry. To get a closer look at the natural beauty of South Africa, visit Table Mountain, one of the city’s most famous landmarks because of its unique feature, a flat summit measuring around 3 kilometers.

For great views of Cape Town and the surrounding area, visitors can ride a cable car to the mountain’s summit.
