Beautiful gardens and well worth a visit. Really clean, tidy and such vibrant contrasting colours. We really spent some time just sitting and appreciating the unique cactus and stunning design, but it’s fairly small so you can walk around quite quickly. Lots of photo opportunities and the small pond / lake even had little turtles. Definitely recommend if not just to see such bold and unusual colours!

A beautiful garden and house. Visit early to avoid the crowds and you can get your insta worthy photos without anyone else there. Opens at 8:30 and gets busy from 9:00. Book tickets online beforehand as there is no ticket purchase at the Gardens. A tranquil oasis in the centre of Marrakech with fountains, pools, and amazing plants to wander amongst.

Not worth it in my opinion. It's too expensive 15€ per person for just 2 nice spots to take pictures. There are long ques to take pictures in the nicest spots. But it's nothing like original from Morocco is just a stylish house for the foundation. Really colorful in indigo blue and yellow, but not worth the queue and price.

An oasis in the middle of Marrakesh and one of the most enchanting gardens I have ever been. Entrance is slightly more expensive than regular attractions in the city, but its absolutely worth it (we’ve been there for 4hs!!). Cakes at the cafe are delicious too. The Yves Saint Laurent museum was an incredible surprise as well.

Just a picturesque place full of a peaceful beautiful vibe and so many different plants n cacti and the colours are so vibrant n such a beautiful amazing place to be. Such a contrast in the midst of the busy vibe of the city centre. Definitely worth coming to see this place and admire the different types of plants

This place was simply STUNNING! Me and my husband really enjoyed visiting the beautiful garden. Every corner you turned to was so picturesque that my album on my phone camera was getting full! Such a calm and vibrant garden. The colours were so captivating and pictures here looked stunning! I highly recommend this place if you’re ever in Marrakesh, definitely worth going to. Tickets must be booked online in advance and it’s about 150MAD per person.

The park is beautiful, it depicts Morocco but in a more tame way.  The park is dominated mostly by cacti and various succulents and two colors, royal blue and yellow.  Colorful and dynamic.  One of the cleaner places I had the opportunity to visit in Morocco.  You can only buy a ticket online and for a specific entry time.  Beautiful, but overcrowded with visitors.  Surprisingly small in size.

We visited a few years back, it was a great experience and much needed after the buzzing streets of #marakesh and specifically the old town. The gardens are beautiful and calm and relaxing. We can highly recommend a visit. The stark color contrast is very unique as the selection of plants.

Nice garden. Not too busy with people. Even the queue is not long for buying tickets (waited for 15 minutes) You can take some very beautiful photos The place is small, nothing so special about it, except it’s been built and designed by famous french designer If you’re in Marrakech, you have to visit it, but don’t expect that much

A beautiful garden that is definitely worth a visit. Book the tickets in advance and come before 9:00am to avoid the crowds for a chance of a good photo without many tourists is in it. The museum is small by beautiful. While not cheap, both the restaurant and the shop are full of quality items and tasty food.

Beautiful garden just outside of the old town. It looks like you can only book online to visit so make sure you do that or you'll end up having to use your phone to book it while being in line. The garden is really well kept and there's a lot of great spots for pictures. It takes about an hour to visit.

One of the most beautiful gardens. If you visit this one, no need to go to secret garden in Medina. Make sure you buy tickets online as there is now ticket office on site. If you want to be able to take photos then visit during the week early morning as then it gets crowded

A beautiful garden full of a wide variety of plants and of course the stunning blue house. The garden is well maintained and there are plenty of benches to sit and take in the beauty. Just a few things: 1. Go early. You will be grateful for it. We entered at 9am and although already somewhat busy, the queue to enter when we left was very long. We did not have to queue when we arrived. 2. Book tickets online. 3. Beware the obscene amount of wanna be Instagram models. They are everywhere and will take forever to pose in one spot disturbing beautiful views behind them. Again, go early to avoid this circus.

A really nice, picturesque place to visit. You’ll need to buy tickets online and book a time slot, it gets really busy, I’d advise arriving around 20-30 mins before your allocated time slot. There are a few different ticket types available, we went for the garden only but you can buy additional tickets for the ysl museum and the Berber museum too. Once you’re in you’re free to spend as much time in there as you’d like, it’s not massive and you can do it all in the space of an hour or so but still worth checking out.

This place is amazing I never knew there were so many different species of Cactus. Get there early to get the amazing views wear a scarf as that early it's nippy. The views the vibrancy of the colours. The museum onsite provides a wealth of information. The resting place for YSL, the tranquility without the crowds . A must visit when in Marrakesh. But book in advance

Absolutely stunning place, visually majestic and stimulating. Not much else to do beyond that, though, and the crowds tend to hang too long in the best areas, taking pictures until they are satisfied with the outcome. Still an amazing spot, with shops outside for refreshments or retail therapy.

Upon arrival, be prepared for a queue lasting approximately 30 minutes, as the influx of tourists necessitates multiple ticket checks. Once inside, you're immediately immersed in a vibrant garden showcasing an array of plant life, including cacti, flowers, and more. This visit is a botanical delight, particularly for plant enthusiasts. While the space isn't overly large, capturing pictures might extend your visit, given the queues forming at the most picturesque spots in the garden. For those intrigued by culture, a highlight is the Berber collection. Exploring this section provides an opportunity to delve into Berber culture, featuring typical costumes, accessories, and insightful exhibits. If cultural exploration is on your agenda, this collection comes highly recommended.

Beautiful place, many opportunities to take nice pictures. But better go early because it‘s full of tourists. It is near to the YSL museum, which is also good, so better to buy directly tickets for both at better conditions than if you purchase them separately.

An absolutely beautiful sanctuary in the middle of a bustling city. Highly recommend a stop here on your visit to Marrakech. Many stunning plants and local birds in the garden. Buy your tickets online and go first thing in the morning (8am) before it gets busy. They also have a little gift shop and a cafe on site!

Gorgeous small garden designed by a painter in the early 1900s in Marrakech, Morocco. Later owned and maintained by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner (both are buried in the garden). Entry fee is about $12 or $13 USD. A bit high but if you enjoy lovely spaces and beautifully designed gardens you will enjoy it. There is a one way direction to the path. We went to the WC first and accidentally got going the wrong way at first so beware. The main section of the grounds is planted with a nice variety of cacti in various textures and shapes. There are blooming bougainvillea on overhead trellises that contrast nicely with the more brutal looking cactus plants. The blue painted walls are absolutely stunning. Pots (many plant filled) in saturated colors such as orange, yellow, green, and blue are situated to create lovely vignettes here and there. There are several water features and comfortable benches throughout. The restrooms are clean and have fantastic tile work. There is a small coffee shop, too, though we didn’t have time to order anything. It is possible to see just the garden or add on the museum (for a higher fee). This is a popular place for school tours. It can get very crowded. We were there at about 10 am and it was already very busy.

A lovely oasis in Marrakesh. It's the only place I thoroughly enjoyed in this bustling city. There's a long line to enter so recommend booking the tickets in advance or getting here early. 4 stars because not all the plants were marked with their names. So they need to work on that! Lovely place nevertheless with a nice book shop and gift shop.

Absolutely must visit place if you are in Marrakech. Gardens are fabulous. A bit crowded mid day so go earliest in the morning. No smoking inside, a gift shop and many many exotic plants that will do beautiful pictures too.

The Majorelle Garden is pretty, and it is a great thing that most of the trees are really high. This makes the visit a little fresher. However, the $15 price is a little high if you consider that visiting it takes no more than 25 minutes. There is the Yves Saint Laurent museum inside, which if you want to visit, you have to ensure it is in your ticket. The colors of the place and decorations are beautiful and look amazing in pictures.

Make sure to buy tickets online first! It’s good that it has a lot of shades and air conditioning in some areas. Worth to go for the beautiful designs - many places reminds me of China. Love the cactus section! If you want to take good photos of the plants, make sure to go early to avoid the crowds.

One of those relaxing places to visit if you're staying in Marrakech for a few days. It's a garden with beautiful planes and it belonged to Yves Saint Laurent in the past. You can do it by yourself, choose a tour guide at the door or do it as part of a guided city tour. If you love plants this is a MUST if you're not into plants then skip it, it is all you will see.

If you are a lover of landscape gardens and cacti, you have come to the right place. There is an incredible richness in the vegetation and the visit itself is very pleasant. For our part, we did it without a guide and so we wandered through the aisles at our leisure and were able to take a large number of photos. Points not to be overlooked: Tickets must be taken on the internet for access and it is crowded because it is a real tourist site. 😜👇👍

Nice gardens. This was started by the French Painter Majorelle and was recovered by Yves St Laurent and made into a beautiful garden. The gardens opened to the public in 1982 for viewing. There is a $15 charge person to enter the gardens. This goes to the foundation that upkeeps the gardens and I'm sure they do other good deeds too.

This is a great place and a must visit in Marrakech. Landscaping and colours of this garden are marvellous. Haven for Instagrammers. The collection of plant species and the way the garden is arranged is fantastic. Queues are long. Always advised to book online in advance.

Largely overhyped, could miss this if you do not have a lot of time in the city! The ticket for the garden cost 155MAD and 210MAD with the museum entrance, tickets could be bought online and QR codes will be sent to your email. The hotel staff told us to reach on time, but we had to wait up till 20 minutes upon arrival due to the queue. Note that bigger bags have to be left with the staff at the entrance post. The garden is immaculate and beautiful. There are a number of benches for you to rest and people watch. Not very zen due to the crowd though. There were no signs or explanations of the plants in the garden. The same goes for the museum as the display signs were in French, no English so I was clueless the entire visit. There are a lot of staff in the garden & museum, some cleaning and maintaining the garden, others giving you a death stare moving you along. The bookshop and gift shop was very interesting. Do check out the little tea section tucked beside the Love Gallery, had a lot of fun exploring the different tea blends and bought a few packets at only 180 MAD each.

An amazing garden bursting with life, colour and creativity. A great escape into the calm and beauty of cacti and water features. It is a good idea to book tickets before your visit.

Totally worth the wait / queue. The jardín is stunning, peaceful and colorful in unexpected ways. Even though is somehow small and crowded, you can still find some instants of peace and solitude which brings the magic closer to you. Absolutely recommended

If you enjoy gardens then this is a definite must see. It is so beautiful and peaceful. The contrasting colours of the YSL museum and plant pots dotted around the place makes it all the more pleasing to the eye. I could have easily spent hours there. We booked online and arrived 10 minutes before our booking and had to queue even with booking in advance. I think the gardens would be more enjoyable if it had been less busy (we had the 3:30pm slot) but was still beautiful nevertheless.

A wheelchair accessible garden with beautiful plantings and a lovely cafe. The staff were really helpful. As a wheelchair user, my ticket was free. While some paths had steps, there were always alternatives with ramps. The Berber museum in the garden is also wheelchair accessible and there is even an accessible bathroom with space for a wheelchair

You will find the heaven in the middle of desert. It is totally green with different kinds of plants. You can also visit museums there. The colors of the buildings are fascinating. You need 2 hours to visit and take some photos. There is also a cafe inside.

Very colourful and well maintained garden. Does not take more than an hour to go around the garden. Considering the size of the garden the price to enter the place does feel excessive. The people at the entrance are quite rude when you ask them questions on how to enter- tickets can only be bought online. I bought tickets late in the afternoon, the one before the last entry slot, and the place was extremely crowded. It might be a better idea to go early in the morning to avoid crowds if you want to experience a tranquil garden.

We were rightly advised to book tickets online well in advance as they get sold out quickly. It's best to visit the gardens in the earliest slot possible for lesser crowds. The garden is very picturesque and well maintained. There are lots of little spots where you can get beautiful pictures, but expect some wait times. The garden is much smaller than what I expected, so felt a little pricey for the areas we could visit.

Nice place, so colorful and the vegetation was very nice too. I went there at 8am and there were already quite a few people. But then later at around 9am it was already a bit crowded. So it is a very very touristy place. It‘s nice to take some pictures. But just to walk around it is not that peaceful with so many people taking pictures all the time.

Like many other reviews here, this place is overhyped yet visually pleasing. Although well maintained and managed, there’s not much to see here. Yes, you can get a lot of nice pictures but it is not worth the hefty ticket price. You need to book tickets online as they don’t sell tickets at the site.

Beautiful, definitely worth it and a must see if you are in marrakesh. The vibe was so relaxing and the smells I cannot even describe. There are so many plants, fish and together it gives such an amazing smell.

wonderful place to visit and take picture along its paths… so colorful! unfortunately it’s too crowded and the staff could be really rude if you don’t follow their indications to visit the garden. i definitely suggest you book the ticket in advance and respect the scheduled entrance time, otherwise they are not going to let you in!

If you are a cacti lover it's definitely a must see, otherwise nothing special. The barber museum is very nice and muss be seen. It's very important to buy tickets online before visiting, because you can't buy any at the entrance!

It’s the most expensive of all attractions but definitely worth it (different than the jardin secret, not worth it at all) 155MAD just the garden + extra for a ticket to the Berber museum you’ll find inside. Try to go EARLY in the morning After 10am there’s a huge line forming outside I’ve been there at 9:30 and there were already many people inside, not many on the line. I quietly took my 2h to explore, feel the breeze, sit down and relax amongst the plants, it’s peaceful They have different ways of following the path, I apparently took the opposite and all of them would let me go until one had stopped me and asked to go all the way around. All the blue colors make it a wonderful place to be, the cactus, the garden itself. Keep in mind that there’s the Berber museum inside that you have to pay extra, but when you’re buying your ticket online.

Queue was maximum 20 minute wait. We booked online. If you’re at the front, I recommend heading down and left - the first few people are invited into the private secret garden, which was amazing and a whole other experience! Try do this! We spent an hour here, take your time to be present. There were a few people taking photos which causes a crowd, but if you’re like me - we just walk on past!

It looks overwhelming at first, but it's easy to navigate. Restaurants with terraces, and shops line the square, and in the evenings, food vendors set up selling fruit juices, all kinds of traditional dishes, and pretty much anything else you can think of. There's entertainment in the form of games, musicians, snake charmers, and monkeys, the later 2 of which I don't endorse. But overall it's a great place to spend the evening and people watch.

This is a very famous plaza. There are tons of motocyclists, so you need to watch out and stay on your right. People are nice, but vendors are very sticky. If you are not interested in something, don't spend much time looking at it, or you will be insisted on buying. Make sure you ask for a better price because bargaining is something they truly enjoy. There are several good restaurants. Choose one with a rooftop to get great views of the plaza and the vendors with cobras and monkeys.

This square is a must visit place if you come to Marrakech. People is really friendly, sometimes a bit intense while trying to sell you food, but always with manners. The difference between the day and night is huge. Also in love with juices they instantly make.

Walking through Jemma el-Fnaa is an amazing experience every time I do it. Both the daytime and nighttime atmosphere is incredible with the square filled with performers, artists, henna women, snake charmers, juice sellers, music, and an ever changing crowd. There is nothing that fully captures the magic of this place.

One of the busiest squares in the world. Moroccan life and culture in all its variety can be experienced here. A must experience in Marakkesh. This North Africa at its best. Stalls and stalls of Moroccan food comes alive from sunset. For those who are more formal , restaurants surround the square on all sides. Village artisans peddle their wares leather, pottery , paintings , spices and handicrafts in the square. Friday nights are special with hundreds of nomadic performers entertaining small groups. The square is alive with snake charmers, monkey shows, jazz singers, stilt walkers, apply henna on your hands. On onside you have a line horse carriage one can engage for stroll through the city. Be ready to negotiate the price before doing anything including taking photographs.

It’s crazy how this square becomes so alive when it gets dark. There are traditional music and dances, different items sold. I would recommend to try the foods of the mobile food Stalls that mysteriously appears when it’s nighttime. Many people might call your attentions, wanting you to spend money. I find it sad that also animals are involved in this, most specially the Monkeys who are intelligent beings even capable of having emotions.

This is the place to see the real Morocco, a favorite place for the tourists. There are a lot of shops and food stalls, snake charmers, and women who put henna on palm. In the evenings the whole place gets lighted and gets busy. The best way to view the place is sitting on the top floor of a cafe with a cup of coffee and watch the hustle and bustle around. We were also lucky to watch the sunset. Highly recommend this place.

Extremely bustling, lively area with food and juice stalls in the middle and around the square. Food is delicious and cheap as chips. Amazing atmosphere and lots of locals eating and enjoying the delicacies such as snails and sheep's head, if that's for you. Keep your bags in front of you as pickpockets operate in the area. Must not miss the experience of jamaa el fna square.

Big touristic Square with lots of local products and artists. There are numbered sections with fish, meat and fruit where you can eat very fresh and delicious food very cheap. Be aware that looking like a tourist people are all over you to get them into their food place or buy products. Always friendly but can be too much sometimes.

It’s an open space. Interesting to explore and you can see a lot people selling the street food and juices. Also you see a lot of snake charmer with cobra and at night you can enjoy the street musicians. Just be careful with your stuff, bag, wallet, etc if you’re walking in this area.

It was a very unique experience to actually learn about the process of making leather garments and bags. The prices were negotiable for most items. Upon entry, we were given mint leaves as a distraction for the foul odor from the mixture to condition the leather.

Such an interesting place, well worth a visit. Hundreds of stalls, guys with monkeys and snake charmers galore! We've never been anywhere quite like it.

Utterly bonkers market, even more ridiculous at night. You will be hassled at just about every store/pitch, especially if you show the slightest bit of interest in their wares. The place to go if you want to eat sheep's head. Many bargains to be had, particularly from the vendors with no store or pitch that are selling from a blanket on the floor. Prepare to haggle. The sights, sounds, smells and overall experience is 'a must' in Marrakech.

Beautiful place, very touristic and you can find whatever you can imagine to buy. Watch out, there are a lot of scammers tough. By night, the artists they play instruments, they dance and you can enjoy the spectacle by acrobatic artists for free. The food is very good and fresh, the experience is worth living.

I was convinced Jamaa El Fna Square would be a touristy nightmare, filled with travelers wearing shorts, black socks and Fanny packs. However, on a Monday night in May, the iconic Jamaa El Fna Square was filled with locals celebrating the Moroccan culture, playing music, singing, dancing, and eating at the food stalls. It was a potpourri of travel stimulation, and although I am often a jaded traveler these days, I loved it. It felt good to be surprised.

Good experience, although not as majestic as it looks in pictures. Went in the day and it felt safe. The night was busy and full of entertainment but didn't feel as safe. However, I'm a single mum with 2 kids and I felt safe enough. Just be firm when sellers are pressuring you! We had food in a restaurant on the square with lanterns on the roof terrace. It was really clean and professional and food and drinks were fabulous. The sunset from the roof terrace over the market was stunning! Cantvrwmember the name of it but it's hard to miss with its glowing terrace.

It’s a great place to visit the markets of Marrakesh (from their leather products and traditional tea pots and ceramic products to clothes and food; you will find everything here) and it’s close to some historic sites like. As the sun starts to set, the center gets full of people showcasing their talents and food trucks so it gets really crowded and hot.

This place is soooo vibrant and just so Morocco. You gave to go here to feel the joy and excitement of the . Negatives... Lots of beggers about. Lots of children begging. Be very careful of thieves. I didn't like the snake charmers ewwwww!! Being able to barter was exciting. Got a couple of the long ladies robes for a better price than in the local shops. Brilliant holiday.

We found Jemaa El-Fnaa a great place to visit. Locally referred to as the main square or main market, it is best to visit in the evenings. We went in the beginning of November and we found this to be a great time to visit, the mornings are nice and cool, daytime reached mid to high 20s and evening is warm to cool, but not so cold that you need a jumper if you are from the UK. The market although open from morning, is est to visit from late afternoon onwards, it comes to life in the evening. The busy hustle and bustle of he market is a great atmosphere. There is plenty to see and lots of things to buy if you are in mood for some shopping. Plenty of food places , street performers including local traditional dances, snake charmers, monkey trainers, horse carriage rides and others. The traders will say a higher price if you are tourist, don't be out off , they expect you to haggle down :) and they do so without being pushy, in fact if the price is not agreeable you can simply walk away and say thank you, many time they will shout a cheaper price once you have walked away to draw you back. Always haggle. The Koutoubia mosque is right next to the market, it was closed for repairs, once done it should be open. Most restaurants you can walk into at this time of year they won't be that busy, there rooftop restaurants dotted all over the, those you might need to book a table for as they overlook the market, a great evening view. The outdoor market is surrounded by streets and alleys that are overflowing with shop keepers and their wares. We went without the kids but we can see that it is safe enough to visit with kids, just be mindful of the busy maze like streets and also the scooters that zip past you as you're walking, other than that it's great. Friendly place, friendly people, good food, good value items for shopping.

This is tourist central. It’s busy, over priced and it feels like every person is out to scam you. If you eat in the food market in the evening make sure you agree a price before you sit down. Ignore the snake charmers, the folk who have tied up monkeys and the henna ladies. Would recommend watching you tube videos about common scams that take place here.

Loved experiencing the Medina. We did a walking food tour and then went back shop on our own. Felt very safe and loved the experience. You haven't been to Marrakesh if you don't visit the Medina.

Nice Palace to walk about and learn the history of. Stalks nesting in the palace walls, which was lovely to see! The market is hectic and chaotic but has a vibrant and lively atmosphere. Beware, you will see snake charmers, monkeys on chains, and animals for sale, which may be upsetting. There are a couple of nice cafes to sit in and watch the hustle and bustle.

I was not expecting all the stimulus you get here. Cobra charmers, chained monkeys, aggressive sellers, weird smells, all colors under the sun and non stop noise. An interesting experience that changes from day to evening. Regardless of the time, I think is worth stopping by and absorbing it all.

Lives up to its reputation as it transforms from a bustling, busy marketplace during the day to a lively light show at night with music, attractions, games and (more) food. Yes it’s not huge, it can feel chaotic and cramped particularly when busy, it starts to look the same and soon after you want to escape. But it’s a key point of interest in Marrakech and a bit of harmless fun for the most part. Go in and enjoy yourselves.

It’s definitely an experience. So full of life and lights, music, good mood. Also a lot of people trying to sell things. But generally think it’s something that you definitely need to see with your own eyes in Marrakech

Beautiful soul. You can get everything you need. Be aware of people trying to scam. Vendors always tell you an exaggerated price. Always huggle. If you don't like the way just say thank you and move along. Most of them are not friendly with cameras bear this in mind. Ask permission.

Square is very famous for the performers and traders, but it's quite dirty, there are monkeys on neck chains, and the food is dodgy. There is a great buzz, though, and worth the visit. Just don't eat or entertain those who abuse animals

North Table Mountain, Oroville, CA has a two mile hike up to the waterfall. It is a strenuous, hard hike with lots of up and down hills on a narrow muddy and rocky trail. If you are not in shape, don't go to the top. A mile into the hike are beautiful rolling hills with flowers and trees. The top does have a wonderful view. These are my personal photographs taken with my Nikon Camera.

Most beautiful scenery ever. Cape Town you gotta love.

This view is at a different angle to the cable car views and I enjoyed the walk after going up platteklip gorge. There were signs and you won't get lost getting to the top. It took me about 35min after getting on top from platteklip gorge.

Stunning! A true wonder of the world. We had an amazing time visiting table mountain. It was truly breathtaking. From the moment we started via a cable car, the views were epic. Once we got to the top of table mountain, we had all-around stunning views of Cape Town as well as the Atlantic Ocean & Indian Ocean. Prices were very reasonable. I could’ve spent the whole day and night up there just looking at the incredible views. Loved every single minute of it! Highly recommend!

Capetown is the most beautiful place I've ever been to! The Table mountain looks absolutely amazing and to think that I thought it was flat on top only to find a whole house and bathroom room facilities and shops 🤣 The view from the top is breathing taking! Seeing clouds literally below is mind blowing and the vibe is just amazing. I really enjoyed myself and I'm definitely going back! ❤️❤️

Such a beautiful place.. You can see amazing Atlantic ocean from the top south west side... See the entire city... There is a cable car to go to the top.. The cable car is also amazing and it rotates from inside so that you get 360 degree view... You also have a cafe at the top.. Before you go make sure it's not cloudy... This is a must visit place in cape town.. You shouldn't miss

I had such a wonderful time , cannot stop thinking and talking about everything. Breathtaking scenery and diverse wildlife, a true natural wonder 👌. You won't regret it . A must visit destination, for an unforgettable experience😎.

We climbed the mountain for 4 hours, only when you arrive close to the top there is a good 4G cellular connection, so It's impossible to use any guide apps during your route. The mountain is very challenging, but the road is amazing.

It was a lovely stroll from the cable way to the beacon. There was a slight Westerly wind blowing and cloud forming and disappearing all around the mountain top. There was good, clean, quality air coming in off of the Atlantic and the flora looked fresh and vibrant. Spotted a few flowering Gladiolus...

Such an amazing experience!!! The view of Cape Town from the mountain top was absolutely stunning and worth every second of the hike. Everyone needs to experience this pure serenity at least once.

In the entire world, Table Mountain continues to be the most recognisable peak. Easily the nicest view of the city. The encounter lives up to the name's spectacular description.

If you are looking for a place to be when visiting Cape Town, then Table Mountain is the best place to be.... I really enjoyed being there and had a fun time, the service was excellent !! Put it on your to do list, you will never go wrong.

A must visit place when in Cape Town. You can either hike or take cable car to the top of the mountain. The view of the city from the top there is just mesmerising, unbelievable experience.

This flat-topped mountain has graced many a Cape Town postcard. The peak is at a lofty 3,563 feet (1,086m) and there are numerous trails to the top. Pick between half-day and full-day hikes but be aware that although the half-day hikes can be as short as just under two miles (3km), they do tend to be rather steep. Opt for a more leisurely full-day route, which is still only three miles (4.8km), to savour the finest views. Pass through the jungle-esque Skeleton Gorge on your way up the mountain. Or take the more challenging Kasteelspoort route along the jagged Twelve Apostles cliffs, and you’ll be rewarded with a seemingly death-defying photo opportunity at the Diving Board rock formation. Want a lift down? Take the Table Mountain Cable Car.

It seems like there is a great degree of complacency. The mountain itself of course is magnificent. However, there needs to be more detail on ticket purchasing procedures, assistance should be offered to spontaneous users of the service. The staff are so impatient

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa and experiencing the Cableway that takes visitors to the summit. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with my visit and the overall experience of the Cableway. One of the first things that struck me was the level of service that was provided. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making me feel at ease right from the start. The gondola ride itself was a thrill, with the gondola turning to give you a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. And what a view it was! The scenery from the summit of Table Mountain was simply breathtaking. I was able to see for miles around and take in the beauty of South Africa from a unique vantage point. It's easy to see why this is one of the top tourist attractions in the area. Despite the large number of tourists, I always felt safe and secure. I didn't see any incidents of pickpocketing or other types of crime, which is a testament to the security measures in place. In terms of pricing, I found it to be fair and reasonable, especially considering the amazing experience that you get. The line wasn't too long, but I would still recommend booking a pre-ticket to avoid any potential waiting times. Overall, I had a cool visit at Tafelberg Cableway and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting South Africa. The stunning views and incredible experience are not to be missed. I will definitely be returning the next time I'm in the area.

We have been to the top of Table Mountain on two separate trips to Cape Town. It is a must see attraction. The views are stunning! Go early, especially in December as the lines to go up can be very long (3 hour wait). You can also purchase expedited tickets on line that let you skip most of the line.

Expensive for adults but pensioners and kids get great discount and on your birthday month go free. Awesome experience, safe and clean and efficient. What a spectacular view. The mist do activity in Cape Town

Just one word: amazing! Just do it, if you are in Capetown. Don’t leave the city without visiting Table mountain. We were luck, it was cloudy in the morning. So there wasn’t a queue and we don’t need to wait to go up. It is very fast just a few minutes…

Very nice touristic attraction. Good organised from a logistics point of view. Although we didn’t buy tickets in advance it was easy to arrange onsite: online or at the ticket shop. View is very much depending on the weather. We were not that lucky, but still it was a very impressive experience. Restaurant and bars are very “touristic” with the standard services that are normal in such a place. Staff is very friendly. René & Menekşe

Absolutely loved the view from the cable way❤it was quite a long queue to get the tickets but it was worth it👌🏽

Quite simply put, the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is a must-do for anyone visiting Cape Town. The views from the top are simply breathtaking, and you can see for miles in every direction. Even the cableway ride itself is an experience in itself. We made use of the City Pass Cape Town for the day, using the Hop-on Hop-off bus to get from V&A Waterfront up to the attraction. I would advise this as the parking is limited and gets very busy. Another big tip is to get there as early as you can. We went on an off-peak Friday morning at 9 am and waited around 30 minutes to ascend to the top of the mountain. By the time we had returned around 11:30 am the queue was triple the size, so would have taken at least 1 hour to get to the top. By arriving as early as you can, you can beat the queues and enjoy more of your day. Another benefit of the City Pass Cape Town is you can proceed straight into the line, instead of having to purchase tickets before you join the queue – again saving you time. The cableway ride takes about 5 minutes to reach the summit. A really nice surprise was the cable car actually turns as you go up/down, so it doesn’t matter where you stand, as you’ll have a great view at one point during the ride. The views from the top are nothing short of incredible. You can see Table Mountain, Robben Island, and the entire city spread out before you. Once you reach the top, you can take in the stunning views from the various viewpoints, and there are also several hiking routes should you wish to use them. There is also a pub, cafe, toilets and a gift shop too. The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is a great way to experience the beauty and nature of Cape Town. The views are amazing, the cableway ride is fun, and there is something for everyone to enjoy. It’s a must-do attraction when visiting Cape Town – but get there early to avoid the queue.

It is much easier to pay with card on kiosk next to visitor centre. I was there at 8 AM and the line was already formed. The first cable car departs at 8.30 AM. This is a must see ! The view up there is spectacular !

There are simply no words that would do this ride/trip justice! The trip up and down was Breathtaking and everyone was very friendly and helpful. It being our birthday month (my son and I - May) we got our return rides for free and paid the Pensioner's price for my Mom. It was a beautiful sunny day and we took jackets up but didn't use it. There is a little restaurant/eating place on top of the mountain (quite pricey for us locals, but understandably so). Also, the guides are very helpful with wheelchair and stroller/pram users as well as older people.

Even though we did not book tickets in advance, we did not wait too much longer. Go early; once the red tour busses arrive it fills up quickly! The short walks are easy and enjoyable. Not to mention the great views once on top!

Our experience at the Table Mountain Cable Car was unfortunately not as enjoyable as we had hoped, resulting in a 3-star review. Purchasing tickets proved to be chaotic and disorganized, as we were sent from counter to counter with little guidance from staff members who seemed unsure of the process. The queues for both ticket purchasing and boarding the cable car were excessively long (2 hours in total), leading to frustration and a sense of inefficiency. It appeared that the overcrowding and confusion may have been exacerbated to incentivize guests to purchase more expensive fast track tickets, which left a negative impression on our overall experience. However, once we were finally aboard the cable car and ascending Table Mountain, the views were undeniably breathtaking and made the journey worthwhile. The natural beauty and panoramic vistas from the mountain summit were truly awe-inspiring. In conclusion, while the experience of riding the Table Mountain Cable Car itself was marred by chaotic ticketing and long queues, the stunning views from the mountaintop redeemed the experience to some extent. However, improvements are needed in terms of organization and crowd management to ensure a more enjoyable experience for visitors in the future.

The wait on the way back is about an hour without fast track, but they hand out umbrellas to provide shade against the sun! Highly recommended to take it if you never did it before, it's a quick but enjoyable ride as the gondola rotates making sure you have a 360 degrees view (also no windows in a segment so be careful with wind)!

The Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa is a must visit for anyone vesting Cape town. The Cableway that takes visitors to the summit. The cable way opened in 1929. The current cable way is much better and span a length of 1200 m and moves at a speed of 10m/sec. we travel to the top on the gondola which is rotating so that everyone gets to see all around till be reach the top. Each gondola takes 65 passengers. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The gondola ride itself was about 4 minutes with the gondola turning to give you a 360-degree view of the surrounding area. The cable way operates only if the weather is good and not very windy and so please watch out for the weather before you decide to go. The tickets can be purchased online so that you can skip the queue ticket. The Table Mountain sits on the south west corner of the African continent. The scenery from the summit of Table Mountain was stunning. As it was clear day we could see very far. the beauty of South Africa from top of the world. in the area Despite the large number of tourists In terms of pricing, I found it to be fair and reasonable Overall, we had a great experience and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cape town.

The cableway is the most preferred way to get to Table Mountain in Cape Town. The cableway runs every 5 to 10 minutes and while it moves up and down the mountain, it rotates so you get 360 degrees view of the city, the harbor, the mountains and the surroundings. The Cableway is wheelchair accessible.

The most spectacular views of Cape Town are on top of the Table Mountain 😍 I enjoyed the 360 view while I was on the cable. My heart was so full as the views on top of the mountain was breathtaking 😭👌👌👌

Fairly long line to get to the top( 2 hours), but every part of the way is in the shade seeing as there have been umbrellas or other types of covers placed along the entire line, this was really nice. It prevented us from getting sunburnt and overheating. The cable car itself ran smoothly, except for when a gust of wind came and partly blew open one of the doors, there was a gap of about 10 seconds. This lasted very short seeing as the doors seemed to automatically latch closed again. The line to get back down was highly unpleasant, but this was not the fault of anyone except mother nature. The day we were there there happened to be severe wind, eventually also shutting down the cable car out of safety precautions. Due to the weather we were all exposed to severe wind gusts leaving us cold to the bone and shaking. It would have been great of there was some emergency screen-type things that they could put out when weather calls for it. The view was breathtaking and i definitely recommend anyone to come spend a few hours up there on the table mountain.

Obviously, the natural beauty of the location is unbeatable. The waiting experience in the queue was well managed and relatively short, given the extremely high volumes during the festive period. Plenty of shade and cooling mist to keep you cool while waiting. On the top of the mountain, the selection of soft drinks and beers was extremely limited. No beers on tap. No Sprite, Coke, etc. My flat white tasted awful, a solid 2/10. Naturally, monopoly pricing applies, and the prices were absurdly high. But otherwise, an experience not to be missed.

What a great hotel in which to stay! Overlooking the harbour with amazing views across to Table Mountain, I am so glad we stayed here. The staff were welcoming, attentive and helpful. Breakfast and the Ginja menu tasty and plentiful. Can't wait to go back!

This hotel is an absolute stunner. The staff really looks for your well being during your stay and you feel very welcome. The rooms are clean and and overall very silent. The breakfast served is more than plenty with a lot of fantastic and delicious food. The big plus here is the view of table mountain while eating. Really enjoyed the stay.

Excellent location and the rooms were lovely. Breakfast was good with a decent variety. Staff were helpful. We’d have a night cap each evening in the bar and it was very enjoyable. Shout out to Simon the barman and Sam the porter

Stayed here for three nights a great central location very close to the main shopping mall and a lovely large warehouse called timeout for food. Choose a loft room very spacious with Lovely views of table mountain and the water front. Enjoyed the bar for drinks after being out very reasonably priced. Breakfast ok only thing we felt needed attention was covering the food on the buffet table too many flies

I’m hesitant to put this review up because this place is such a hidden gem in the middle of the VA. Amazing amazing amazing service and they tended to every need with a smile no matter what it was. This is going to definitely be a repeat visit hote next time. Pro tip. Don’t discount the restaurant, just because it’s in the hotel. They have amazing food and breakfast! Also directly connected is a bar restaurant that is always packed and has live music on some days. There are a dozen amazing restaurants within 20 meters of here.

The location is perfect. The hotel is lovely. Breakfast is fantastic. The 3rd floor loft rooms are the least expensive and can't open windows. 2nd floor, harbor facing rooms are best. Staff is lovely.

Very elegant hotel with a wonderful view from the room windows! We stayed in a such beautiful and comfortable room! A special mention for the bed that was very comfortable. I just suggest a little more attention on the towels and sheets turnover. Staff kind and careful. The restaurant was good and very very good also the position.

If I could leave less than one star I would. DO NOT STAY HERE. WE WERE ROBBED BY THE HOTEL STAFF. My wife and I decided to stay here on our honeymoon, and as a result spent our first Valentine’s Day together in the police department. Not only was $500 and our belongings stolen from inside our hotel room, the hotel offered little to no customer service and no compensation even though a polygraph test was performed and the culprit was identified. Incredibly poor quality service; invasion of privacy and disappointing response in the form of lack of hospitality. Save yourself the grief and stay somewhere else.

I would highly recommend this hotel when visiting Cape Town. The area is safe, and the location is excellent! There are lots of amenities (restaurants, shops, markets, supermarkets, banks, etc.) within minutes walk, and you can book an Uber to get you in the city also within minutes. The hotel breakfast is really good, so I suggest booking a room with breakfast included. Sitting outside by the waterfront at breakfast is a nice idea, but I would sit inside by the window the next time to enjoy the views without having to worry about the aggressive birds waiting to attack your food! The rooms are clean and modern, and the service by the hotel staff is great as well. The only downside to our room was that the shower stall had a strong smell of sewage and there are no "Do Not Disturb" tags to hang outside your door when you don't want people to enter your room.

Stayed here for a few nights recently. The room was spacious enough for 2 people and the bathroom looked brand new! Huge bed that was extremely comfortable and don’t even get us started on the curtains! We were a bit jet lagged and had a late start to our first day because the curtains were amazing and made it feel like it was the middle of the night! The service at the hotel restaurant/ bar was amazing, very friendly staff who remembered us and made sure we were looked after. The coffee shop also was a hit as we didn’t have breakfast included in our stay, we would go for coffee instead and it was just as good! Would love to stay here again, as the location is incredible. Also we had to get COVID tests to fly out of South Africa and the hotel organised a lovely nurse to come to our room and do it for a very reasonable price, and results came back 12 hours later! Only thing we would want to change is the room felt very dark in the evening, the bedroom only had sconces and lamps, no ceiling lights, the bathroom and foyer however had ample lighting.

Beautiful Hotel and Scenery. Met a very special Evangelist and Author Carl Wesley Anderson as he completed the recording of his new book Love Speaks. We were well served and taken care of and the food was delicious, flavourful and well portioned just right to stop and chat in between bites.

The hotel is prominently located in the V&A harbour. Everything at the doorstep - food, supermarket and shopping. We had the Table mountain view room and absolutely loved it. The buffet spread was pretty good too. The gymn and swimming pool were in a separate building across the road but is a small inconvenient to stay in this charming hotel.

If it wasn’t for the theft and the response from the ‘security manager’ this place could be great. Overall the room was clean and the breakfast was good. It was located in a nice area in walking distance of several restaurants. This was completely overshadowed by the theft from the house keeping staff. We had accidentally left our wallet in the room for 30 minutes, and returned as soon as we realized, and money was taken. They made an attempt at being sneaky by not taking all of the cash, but a significant amount of our smaller bills. It’s disappointing that at the first opportunity they took advantage of it. I imagine it happens often and people don’t notice but because we had a round number of USD that we had not exchanged yet we knew exactly how much was taken and when. The front desk didn’t seam to care too much and had a form to fill out when things were taken (not a great sign that it happens enough that they have a form). The security manager was to meet with us and completely blew it off so we had to seek him out to discuss. He said he would be looking into it that day but it felt like he was just buying his time until we checked out. Still no response from them after nearly a month, my hopes are not high. They have the records of who was in the room at the time, and with it only being a 30 minute window it doesn’t take a top detective to figure it out. If you choose to stay here keep your valuables on you at all times.

We didn't stay in the hotel but we were at the V&A and near the hotel. It was very busy as it usually is at this time of year. I don't like high crowds so it was too much for me. A friend's daughter had her school prom at one of the restaurants which was nice. She unfortunately fell ill but the on the ground ER24 were very helpful and sorted quickly. Thank you.

Victoria and Alfred Hotel exudes luxury and charm. Perfect waterfront location, impeccable service, and tastefully decorated rooms create an indulgent experience. Dining options and attentive staff add to its allure. A superb choice for a memorable stay in Cape Town.

We stayed here for six days, rooms were a little pricey, but we'll worth the money. A fantastic suite, overlooking the main entrance and plaza, cleaned and serviced every day. Great location right on the Waterfront. Staff were brilliant, helpful and friendly, the breakfast buffet was amazing, fresh fruits, cold meats and bread. The hot selection too was fantastic and beautifully presented. Bar prices for wine and beer were very reasonable. The sister Hotel has a pool gym and spa which is free to use. Would definitely recommend the V&A for a special treat.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. The room was huge - and it was incredibly well sound insulated. Being right in the heart of the waterfront the location was perfect for us. The only gripe I have is around service in the restaurant area. While the manager there was fantastic, we experienced general apathy from two staff members. For example after finishing eating breakfast we were still waiting for our coffee we ordered on arrival. We asked about waitress to do something but she fobbed us off and said “yes I’m sure it will come”. The surprising thing was she then walked off without actually looking into it - so my wife walked over to the barista and took care of it herself. On another occasion my wife asked a waitress for some honey - and was told she needed to ask her waitress designated to our table …even though the staff member was idle and just standing there. We also had to ask three times for an extra slice of toast.

Just checked in to what was supposed to be a piazza facing room for a 5 night stay and it is nothing like what they say it is online and on the website! It has nothing but a rooftop and building-site view (the rooftop being the roof of the entrance foyer of the hotel). I cannot stress how very disappointed we are with the room. On previous visits to the waterfront we have always chosen mountain and water views so we opted for a piazza view for a change seeing as there are usually entertainers out it the piazza area (musicians and performers) but this is very disappointing to say the least...and I couldn't recommend more strongly not to be fooled by the "piazza view" option. Service in the last few hours since check-in has been good however, I cannot comment further at this stage seeing as we have just arrived. Editing this review as below on 15th Feb evening (3 nights since checking-in) 1) The service has been really bad in the restaurant downstairs! We ordered room-service lunch and the sauce for the grilled prawns was off and smelly!! 2) We went downstairs to the restaurant for dinner on the first night of our stay and ordered a seafood platter for two...the waitress came back after 10 mins to say they ran out of mussels and it could only be replaced with calamari, when we asked if we could change our order, the shocking response was that the chef had already started preparing our seafood platter on the assumption that we have to accept the replacement of mussels! When it arrived, we found that the garlic bread was also replaced with two slices of white toast! 3) The next day for brekkie, I ordered poached eggs and the waiter confirmed that the eggs would be medium/runny....I got stone hard yolks! A real shocker! We decided not to dine at the hotel anymore. The worst is yet to come...over the last two nights (we returned really late night) and our room was stinking...the smell is from the drainage in the shower stall. They promised to have a plumber look at it! Have asked for a change of room....lets see what happens!!

Had a bad room and stay. Ceiling leaked condensation two nights in row. Wife slipped and fell painfully, bruised, sore, bed ridden. Water was off for 1½ days for repairs. Excellent location, staff and eating.

Wonderful hotel. Don’t let some of the older review photos of the rooms fool you. The rooms have been renovated and are modern and luxurious. The turn down service was a nice surprise. You can’t beat the location. I only docked a star because we sent our clothes in to be laundered and they were returned folded but not washed. This is not the fault of the hotel because they use a third party laundry service. The 4 star review is because I had to explain the problem four times before it was addressed properly. I did not want anything special - just for the charges to be removed since the service was not performed. I expected to only need to explain twice before it was quietly addressed and I could move on from it. Instead I had to talk about it 3 different times in the lobby. However, I do think this hotel and manager can reflect on this process and find a way to improve.

Theft alert. Staff in restaurant and reception is half super happy and nice and the rest depressed and tense. However the real danger it seems is in the housekeeping staff which although very smiley stole 550 usd in cash from two different rooms. The management well trained in handling such situations since they happen often. I do no recommend this place as it is situated in a the most fake and uninteresting location in Cape Town which although very safe, is operated by an establishment which freely allows theft despite the numerous incidents without letting its guests know the risk. Oh one more thing: they allocated us a room that was already occupied. We found out when we entered the room... This is pretty telling of how insignificant their guests' security and well-being is.
