The following series of maps will introduce you to the different areas of the greater Cape Town area;

Click on one of the maps to get a more detailed map of the highlighted area or click on the text under the map for websites and information specific to that highlighted area of Cape Town.

The Cape Peninsula	The City and the City Bowl	Southern Suburbs (References to Southern Suburbs often include Constantiaberg area)
Atlantic Seaboard	Constantiaberg (Often included in references to the Southern Suburbs)	False Bay
Hout Bay	Northern Suburbs	South Eastern Suburbs
West Coast	Detailed map of City & City Bowl	Another useful Map of the Cape Peninsula

It should be noted that the official distinction between areas has changed with new terms being used that reflect the local political and council boundaries such as the South Peninsula area but I will not refer to that here as it will just get too confusing. This site aims to reflect those terms commonly used by Capetonians.
