Chapman's Peak Drive

Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the most beautiful stretches of road in the world, located in Cape Town, South Africa. The spectacularly scenic drive traverses over 9 kilometres (5.5 miles) of the Cape Peninsula, showcasing dramatic views of the coastline and cliff faces. The road was built in 1915, taking 4 years to complete. The breathtaking scenery is made even more special by the amazing sandstone, limestone and granite that make up the cliffs and mountainside along the way. Tourists can experience the spectacular views from a vantage point near the top of the peak - the Chapman's Peak viewing area - or take a drive along the winding road down to Hout Bay in the comfort of their own car or on a scenic journey. If you're feeling adventurous, you can even find a place to stop and do some hiking or rock climbing around the area. For those looking to capture a great photo, there are plenty of unique vantage points along the drive where you can stop to take pictures of the stunning views.
