Leaving the harsh weather in Europe, escaping to the seaside to soak up the sun's rays and experiencing a bit of exotic for oneself is what many people long for. Here is a tip for a unique luxury location you can head to in January. Make room in your diary, a luxurious vacation awaits!
If you're already tired of winter and the everpresent cold and want to avoid a flood of tourists while catching a shade of bronze for others to envy, head to a unique part of South Africa, Cape Town. The temperature is around 30 degrees this month. This city is the second largest in South Africa and has a lot to offer. Imagine that you're looking at a scenery where high rocks rise in the background, falling steeply into the glittering sea. You are surrounded by greenery and a blaze of flowers. The view alone will give you an amazing, heart-warming feeling.
Among the places worth seeing are the Cape of Good Hope, the oldest building in the country Castle of Good Hope, the Clock Tower from the 19th century or the Table Mountain overlooking Cape Town, which is rightly considered a symbol of the city. If you hike up the mountain, you'll have the whole city in the palm of your hand. Getting there is not difficult at all. If you don't feel like going for a longer walk and choosing one of the 400 hiking trails, you can use the local cable car. I also recommend visiting the Kirstenbosh National Botanical Garden or the local vineyard. This might come to you as a surprise, but local wine is definitely not to be missed. There are over 600 vineyards around Cape Town.
Accommodation, as they say, "for a steal" can be found in the Global Nomad, where one night for two people costs less than 760 crowns. On the other hand, the maximum level of luxury can be enjoyed in the One&Only Hotel, but your wallet will be lighter by CZK 21,000 per night. The Ellerman House is an exclusive alternative that belongs to a completely different league. Here, 1 night costs around 50 000 crowns. It all depends on your preferences!
You don't have to only dream of beautiful beaches, playful flocks of dolphins and whales, or even diving in special cages to meet white sharks face-to-face. The prices of plane tickets start at 15,000 crowns.
