Signal Hill is a flat-topped gem in Cape Town with unbeatable views of the city, Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, and the Atlantic Seaboard. You can drive right to the top of this one and take it all in, or hike up it from the city. Sunset is pure magic — locals and visitors gather with wine and snacks while paragliders launch off the hill and soar into the horizon. In spring, stroll the easy trails and enjoy the wildflowers in bloom. It's also famous for the Noon Gun fired by the South African Navy and the nearby Astronomical Observatory.
