How do you get to the top of Table Mountain Cape Town?

The best way to do this is to take the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain. It is fairly expensive so some people prefer to go up Signal Hill, which is free and you can drive there. While the view from Signal Hill is superb, I'd suggest you still pay for the cable car up to the top of Table Mountain.
