The best city-plus-mountain day has one anchor and two flexible add-ons. Table Mountain should be the anchor because weather can force timing changes.

Suggested structure

Morning: Table Mountain Cableway.
Midday: Bo-Kaap and city center lunch.
Late afternoon: V&A Waterfront or coastal viewpoint.

Time budgeting guide

Segment	Time block
Cableway + summit	2-3.5 hours
Transfer + lunch	1-1.5 hours
Waterfront or museum	2-3 hours

Routing tip

Keep the second half of your day cancel-friendly in case mountain timing runs late.

Bottom line

Anchor the day around weather-sensitive Table Mountain first, then use urban stops as flexible modules.
