5 Best Sunset Hikes in Cape Town

There's a renowned Cape Town proverb that says: "You will know there's a great sunset in Cape Town as it is all over Instagram."
Philosophical thoughts aside, with the sun setting late in the evening and Table Mountain in the backyard, Cape Town certainly offers great opportunities for sunset hikes.
Watching the sunset from a mountaintop is a special feeling and one of the best ways to bring the day to a close. The ideal sunset hike, however, needs three ingredients; firstly, of course, it needs a peak or vantage point to watch the sun kiss the horizon. Secondly, it needs to be short enough to hike back to the trailhead in the twilight (with a headlamp).
Finally, it needs to be accompanied by good snacks and even better company. We'll leave the last ingredient up to you, but here are our 5 best sunset hikes in Cape Town that will satisfy your hunger for the perfect trail sundowner in Cape Town.
PS: Always hike with a headlamp!
