Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, Aerial tramway at Table Mountain in Cape Town, South Africa.
The cable cars transport visitors from the base station to the summit of Table Mountain through a vertical ascent of 765 meters in five minutes.
Norwegian engineer Trygve Stromsoe presented the initial plans in 1926, leading to construction by German company Adolf Bleichert & Co and inauguration in October 1929.
The cableway serves as a gateway for one million annual visitors to experience the natural heritage of Table Mountain, recognized among the world's natural wonders.
The rotating cable cars operate every 20 minutes during daylight hours, carrying up to 65 passengers per trip, with tickets valid for seven days from purchase.
Each cable car completes a full 360-degree rotation during the journey, offering passengers uninterrupted views of Cape Town, the ocean, and surrounding landscapes.
