The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is a cableway to the top of Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa. It is one of Cape Town's most popular tourist attractions.
|
The lower cable station is at an altitude of 302m on Tafelberg Road near Kloof Nek.
|
The upper cable station in on the westernmost end of the Table Mountain plateau, at an altitude of 1067m.
|
Construction of the cableway was first started in 1926, and the cableway was officially opened in 1929. In 1997, the cableway was extensively upgraded, and new cars were introduced carrying 65 instead of 25 passengers. The new cars give a faster journey to the summit, and rotate through 360 degrees during the ascent or descent, giving a panoramic view over the city.
|
The upper cable station offers views over Cape Town, Table Bay and Robben Island to the north.

Your photography makes me envious and, so I suspect, does your job. I thought the mountain was flat?
