Signal Hill

Signal Hill

The long flat ridge above Bo-Kaap, reached by a free public road, looking over the city bowl one way and Robben Island the other.

Drive or walk up Signal Hill Road to the viewpoint parking; below it the Noon Gun at the Lion Battery is fired at midday.

Local tip: Sunset is the crowded hour and the car park fills early, so arrive well ahead and bring a windproof layer.
