Event information
Signal Hill is a must-visit spot in Cape Town, known for its stunning flat-top shape and sweeping views of the city, Table Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you're a local or a visitor, it's a go-to place for enjoying sunsets, having a picnic, or getting outdoors.
One of the coolest things about Signal Hill is the Noon Gun, a historic cannon that's fired every day at 12pm, a tradition that's been going on since 1836. For those looking for a bit of adventure, the hill is a top launch spot for tandem paragliding, giving you a chance to see Cape Town from a completely different angle. There are also plenty of hiking and trail running paths to explore, perfect for everyone from beginners to experienced hikers, with some trails even connecting to nearby Lion's Head. If you're a nature lover, you'll enjoy spotting the indigenous fynbos vegetation that covers the hill, making it a great spot for a leisurely nature walk.
Getting to the top is easy, thanks to a well-maintained road, and there's parking available once you arrive. Whether you’re in the mood for a relaxed picnic, an adrenaline rush with paragliding, or just want to catch an incredible sunset, Signal Hill has something for everyone to enjoy in its natural beauty.
