Description

Essentials about The Cape Wheel in brief

London has the London Eye, Vienna the Riesenrad and Cape Town The Cape Wheel. If you want to enjoy a great view of the city and its surroundings, you don’t have to climb or drive up any mountains, but can do so comfortably right in the city center. The Cape Wheel is located in the middle of the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

The ride with The Cape Wheel

From the 30 cabins of The Cape Wheel, which take you to a height of 40 meters, you have a great 360 degree panoramic view of downtown Cape Town, the V&A Waterfront, Table Bay with Robben Island and of course Table Mountain. A ride on The Cape Wheel takes about 12 minutes.

If you want to eat something on board the cabins, you have the possibility to take a so-called picnic ride. You simply pick up a picnic basket at The Cape Wheel ticket office and then fill it with food from any store at the V&A Waterfront. So that you don’t have to stuff your food into yourself due to the limited time, the picnic ride also lasts twice as long as a normal ride.
