Another Cape Town highlight
Another highlight not to be missed when in CT. Signal Hill offers great sunset views on a clear day and 360 degree views across the city. With sunset scheduled around 8pm, we arrived at 7.20pm and managed to get a parking spot close to the top of the hill. It became extremely busy not long after, so got there just at the right time. There were lots of people picnicking and enjoying the view from the side of the hill (the area is covered well with a vast sheet, so you can sit on the ground). There is a mad rush soon after sunset, but I’d advise to stay a little longer and enjoy the views. We stopped off a little further down the hill and timelapsed the sunset to the city lights. Cape Town really is beautiful so take your time and soak it in.

Sun going down
On the evening of 13 Dec, we went up to Signal Hill as part of the Sunset Bus experience with City Sightseeing bus. I never experienced anything like it. It was very windy, however the view and sunset was amazing
