Whether you choose the convenience of the rotating cable car or challenge yourself with a pre-dawn hike, the reward is unforgettable: golden light spilling over the city as it slowly wakes. Lion’s Head, with its spiraling trail, offers a more intimate experience and equally stunning vistas, perfect for sunrise photography and an invigorating start to your day.

2. Chapman’s Peak Drive at Sunset

Hugging the dramatic cliffs between Hout Bay and Noordhoek, the winding route presents panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and towering mountains. It’s no wonder this iconic stretch of road is considered one of the 7 Wonders of Cape Town. For the ultimate experience, rent a convertible, cue up your favorite road trip playlist, and set off in time to catch the golden hour. As the sun begins to dip below the horizon, the sky explodes with hues of orange, pink, and purple, casting a magical glow over the sea. It’s pure cinematic magic—romantic, exhilarating, and uniquely Cape Town.
