Cape Town is surprisingly small, especially with that creepy rock looming behind it.
Those people are nuts swimming in that frigid Great White Shark infested water.
Why build skyscrapers when every house could have a view on that hill? Skyscrapers look best with sky behind them in my opinion. After all, they are man-made mountains.
Unless of course, it is a city like Seattle or Tokyo where the mountains are in the distance.

Firstly, you're only seeing the main tourist-appealing part of the city. Try looking for a picture of the entire city.

Secondly, not swimming in the sea because there are sharks in it is one of the most naive things I've ever heard. That's like saying you shouldn't drive on the road because so many accidents happen every day. The chances of getting bitten by a shark are extremely small :lol:

And Lastly, strict height restrictions have been set in place so that buildings block as little of Table Mountain and the sea as possible.

There isn't a city in Africa I'd love to visit more than Cape Town. Maybe one of these days I'll actually make it there for a visit.

Here's hoping Cape Town is also the first city in Africa to host the Olympic Games one of these days.

Cape Town

First, Cape Dutch architecture.

Cape Dutch architecture is an architectural style found
in the Western Cape of South Africa. The style was prominent in
the early days of the Cape Colony, and the name derives from the
fact that the initial settlers of the Cape were primarily Dutch.
Houses in this style have a distinctive and recognisable design,
with a prominent feature being the grand, ornately rounded gables, reminiscent of features in townhouses of Amsterdam built in
the Dutch style. The houses are also usually H-shaped,
with the front section of the house usually being flanked
by two wings running perpendicular to it. Furthermore, walls are whitewashed, and the roofs are thatched.
Most Cape Dutch buildings in Cape Town have been lost
to new developments — particularly to high-rises in the City Bowl.
However, the Cape Dutch tradition can still be seen in many of the farmhouses of the Wine Route, and historical
towns such as Stellenbosch, Swellendam,
Tulbagh and Graaff-Reinet.

Bo-Kaap Street

The Bo-Kaap is a picturesque area
of Cape Town in South Africa formerly known as the Malay Quarter.
It is situated on the slopes of Signal Hill above the city centre
and is a historical centre of Cape Malay culture in Cape Town.
Bo-Kaap is traditionally a multicultural area, rich in history and
situated on the slopes of Signal Hill. The area is known for its
romantic cobble stoned streets.

Canal Walk

Canal Walk is a 125 000 m² shopping centre
in Cape Town, South Africa, built around a series of canals.
The centre forms the heart of a mixed-use development
known as Century City, which includes office blocks,
residential areas and the Ratanga Junction theme park.
Canal Walk is the largest shopping centre in Africa in
lettable area (Gateway Centre in Durban is larger in total area)
and the Sandton City complex in Johannesburg is larger
if you include the Nelson Mandela Square annex. Built in
what the developers call "Cape Venetian architecture",
the shopping centre hosts over 400 stores, numerous
restaurants, 20 cinemas plus a game arcade, skate-park
and the MTN Sciencentre, an interactive science

The pictures of Cape Town's natural setting are absolutely stunning. Architecturally the thing that stands out is Cape Town Uni, very nice.

Canal walk looks nice enough too, though that foodcourt would even send a Japanese person into an epileptic fit, I just can't like that part of the shopping centre...

Hi there. I am a South African who lives in Cape Town. CT is very cheap for foreigners to live and travel in, that is why it is so attractive as travel destination. A friend from the Netherlands came here to play in the symphony orchestra (which doesn't pay too much...) and she was able to rent a house in CampsBay with a view across the atlantic. Typically you will pay between 200 and 400 British pounds per month for a decent one bedroom apartment, but you will be able to get away MUCH cheaper if you live in a digs with other students. My of my friends stay in houses with 4-6 people and they pay about 100 pounds per month. And you get to live in an awesome suburb or right next to the city centre etc! SA has the cheapest electricity in the world, although it is expected to rise a bit. I spend about 15 pounds a month on electricity.

The university of Cape Town is one of the most beautifully situated universities in the world, nessled right below table mountain (on the south-eastern side). There are many international students and student live is pretty much integrated with the city and culture. Believe me, you'll meet the coolest people ever and get to travel the whole country and region (its quite a trend to travel in student groups to Mozambique, Drakensberg, Kalahari etc and its loads of fun!). Plus, everyone speaks english.

It is a very relaxed city with millions of things to do, so you tend to spend a lot on entertainment, sight-seeing, food etc.

Clean air, clean beaches, awesome winelands 45 minutes from the central city. I don't know how expensive it is, but i can imagine cost of living souring due to recent economic development. If I had a choice similar to yours, I would definately study in Cape Town.
