Cape Town accommodation. In 1997 the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company upgraded Table Mountain's old cableway with more modern facilities. The newer Swiss-built cable cars can carry 65 passengers at a time and have a 360 degree view. The experience is completed by rotating floors that ensure you don't miss any aspect of the breathtaking view, as the trip to the top only lasts 6 minutes.
When to go
The service is available all year round and operates between 08:00 and 22:00 in summer and 08:30 and 18:00 in winter. Occasionally, weather may not permit operation (e.g. if winds exceed 80kph), but this doesn't happen too often in Cape Town.
The best time to ascend is probably after 18:00 during summer as, not only are tickets often half-price and the temperature slightly cooler, but the summer sunset as the light changes over the land looks simply astounding.
