Cape Town is the legislative capital of South Africa and its second-most populous city, home to approximately 4.6 million people in the Cape Town metro area. It operates on South Africa Standard Time (SAST, UTC+2), a fixed year-round offset. Cape Town is located at the southwestern tip of Africa — Cape Point, near the city, was once thought to be the southernmost tip of the continent (though Cape Agulhas, further east, technically is). The city hosts the South African Parliament for half the year (April–October), while Pretoria serves as the executive capital. Table Mountain, one of the New Seven Wonders of Nature, rises dramatically 1,086 meters above the city, providing a unique flat-topped backdrop. Cape Town's Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years behind bars, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Cape Winelands, accessible within 30 minutes, produce some of the Southern Hemisphere's finest wines.
