PAARL

The Pearl of South Africa

PAARL lies less than an hour's drive from Cape Town and the golden beaches of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. It is renowned for its illustrious past, unrivalled natural beauty, its flourishing wine industry and gracious architecture. The rich heritage of its buildings, interspersed with tablegrape vineyards and rose gardens along its 11 km long Main Street, excellent restaurants and attractive accommodation in lush green surroundings, create a unique tourist mecca.

Paarl's scenic splendour is enhanced by five mountain passes and the majestic Berg River flowing through the heart of the town. The Mediterranean climate yields warm summers, heavenly spring days and mild autumn and winter months - a perfect vacation destination all year round!
