Cape Town prepares for the World Cup

The landscape of South Africa is changing.

Sprouting up in cities across the country are sports stadia which can stand tall and proud next to the ultra-modern equivalents found in London, Barcelona and Milan.

Cape Town, one of the world's most desirable tourist locations, is one of the cities which will benefit from the World Cup, with a brand-new 68,000-seater stadium being constructed in Green Point.

With its sweeping stands and modern design, it is the perfect venue for hosting the semi-final of the world's greatest sporting competition.

Along with the development of the stadium, the authorities are investing in the surrounding infrastructure, making it easier for visitors to go out and explore some of the other attractions this fabulous part of Africa has to offer.

Whether it is jaw-dropping natural beauty or shopping and entertainment in wonderful boutiques, Cape Town can provide it.

Table Mountain draws visitors from far and wide to the city, offering 360 degree views across the region.

Another must-see is the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, where top-class restaurants, funky boutiques and trendy bars await.

Those travelling to the city to see the world's best footballers and enjoy some of the most stunning natural beauty on the planet will need somewhere equally impressive to lay their heads at the end of the day.

That place is the luxury Cape Town hotel the 12 Apostles Hotel and Spa, which has numerous offers to make sure those who stay remember their visit for years to come.

The finest Champagne, the tastiest food and most comfortable surroundings make the 12 Apostles a vital part of any trip to this fantastic destination.
