Take a ‘virtual holiday’ in Cape Town

The Cambridge Dictionary defines a holiday as “a time when someone does not go to work or school but is free to do what they want, such as travel or relax.” Another definition online reads, “a holiday is a day set aside by custom or by law in which normal activities, especially business or work, are to be suspended or reduced.” Sounds a little like the current lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19, minus all the things we love about a holiday: The joie de vivre (joy) of checking into your hotel, the smell of crisp hotel linen, fluffy pillows, room service, decadent buffet breakfast, boozy lunches by the pool and sundowner cocktails. 

"A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in.” – Robert Orben."

It will be a few weeks before we can travel again, but you can still explore or plan your next Cape Town holiday while in lockdown. We’ve found five virtual tours of the city to satisfy your wanderlust and inspire your next holiday at The Table Bay.
