The World Heritage Site of Table Mountain rises over 1, 000m above Cape Town, and can be seen from 150 km out to sea. Its flattened peak makes it one of the most recognisable mountains in the world, and you simply can't visit Cape Town without making a trip to the top. One of 2 cable cars, each capable of holding up to 65 passengers, whisks you up the mountain to the top in less than 5 minutes. The 360 degree rotating floor adds to the excitement, giving everyone on board the opportunity to look out over the spectacular scenery. As well as great fun, it is an excellent way to orientate yourself to the layout of the city. At the Top Many trails wind across the rocky flattened 'tabletop' summit, each leading to different viewpoints over the city and the Bay. There are also great views of the neighbouring Devil's Peak, Lions Head and Signal Hill (whose name is taken from when flags were flown to warn of approaching ships, and from where the Noon Day Gun is fired at midday every day apart from Sundays), as well as views along the jagged peaks of the Twelve Apostles mountain range, and Robben Island out in the bay.
