Which is perfect, as it forms the rump of the Lion! It&#8217;s a local favourite for good reason \u2013 you can see all of Cape Town&#8217;s landmarks from here, and crossing from one side of the hill to another takes you through a surprising variety of <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/local-knowledge\/indigenous-plantlife\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">native fynbos<\/a>. It&#8217;s also the site of the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Noon_Gun\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Noon Gun<\/a>, one of our city&#8217;s oldest living traditions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While it&#8217;s relatively small, you can do a lot on Signal Hill, from paragliding and picnicking to hiking and trail running. And my favourite thing about it \u2013 Signal Hill is central and easily accessible so that even on a long work day, you could end it off watching the sunset here, or make a short weekend trip of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Signal Hill sunset<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-on-signal-hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2723\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-on-signal-hill.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-on-signal-hill-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-on-signal-hill-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/sunset-on-signal-hill-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal Hill is such a brilliant place to <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/cape-town-sunsets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">watch the sunset in Cape Town<\/a>. Because the hill has 360\u00b0 views over the city and the ocean, you get to take in all of Cape Town in the golden and pink light, and then turn around and watch as the sun slowly dips past the horizon. I find it a really special spot, and it tends to be a lot quieter than Lion&#8217;s Head (although it&#8217;s certainly in competition for best sundowner spot with<a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/kloof-corner\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Kloof Corner<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is also a great sunset spot simply because you don&#8217;t need to do any actual hiking. Just a little stroll along indigenous plant-lined trails, and you&#8217;re there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do on Signal Hill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill1.jpg 900w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/signal-hill1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What, you ask, can you actually do on Signal Hill? You\u2019d be surprised! Since it\u2019s central Cape Town\u2019s flattest and most accessible hill, we\u2019re making good use of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Noon Gun<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal Hill&#8217;s Noon Gun is a historic time signal originally aimed at alerting ships in the bay when the clock strikes 12 pm. This would help them check their marine chronometers to establish their position according to celestial navigation. It was established in 1836, and is actually the reason this was called <em>Signal<\/em> Hill. So, quite a historic spot! \\<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The gun still goes off every day at 12 pm. You can hear it throughout much of the city, but you can also visit Lion Battery on Signal Hill and watch it go off! Unfortunately, it&#8217;s temporarily closed, but it&#8217;ll be letting Capetonians know when it&#8217;s lunchtime again soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Picnics and rest spots<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1117\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/watching-paragliders-above-seapoint-signal-hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1185\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/watching-paragliders-above-seapoint-signal-hill.jpg 1117w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/watching-paragliders-above-seapoint-signal-hill-300x155.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/watching-paragliders-above-seapoint-signal-hill-1024x528.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/watching-paragliders-above-seapoint-signal-hill-768x396.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1117px) 100vw, 1117px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My first date with my now-husband was actually a picnic on Signal Hill! Coming from <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/western-cape-towns\/oudtshoorn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oudtshoorn<\/a>, I had never actually been here before, and it was a perfect introduction to what is now a real favourite of mine. There are so many spots on this hill with brilliant views. Pick a side, and you&#8217;ll be watching over Sea Point and the paragliders, or the city bowl, the Waterfront, and Table Mountain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are benches dotting the trails here, so if you keep walking you&#8217;ll find one! There are also large rocks that you can spread a picnic blanket on and admire the views. It&#8217;s a really lovely, easy place to have a <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/cheap-things-to-do-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cheap date<\/a> that feels special. You could bring a simple flask of tea and some <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/recipe\/muesli-rusks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">homemade rusks<\/a>, or a whole spread.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paragliding<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/paragliding1.jpg\" alt=\"Katja paragliding with Airventures in 2024\" class=\"wp-image-1004488\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/paragliding1.jpg 800w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/paragliding1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/paragliding1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/paragliding1-500x375.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/adventures\/paragliding-cape-town\/\">Signal Hill paragliding<\/a> is one of Cape Town\u2019s most popular tourist activities \u2014 and for very good reason. My husband and I went paragliding as an anniversary adventure when we were still dating, and it was spectacular! I went again recently with <a href=\"https:\/\/airventures.co.za\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored nofollow\">AirVentures<\/a>, and had such a blast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s tandem paragliding, so you\u2019ll be perfectly safe, while you look out over <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/neighbourhood-guide\/sea-point\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Sea Point<\/a> and Lion\u2019s Head, and fly close to the hill itself. Part of the experience is actually surprisingly calming, followed up by some twists and flips that get your heart pumping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I see paragliders every day from my apartment, and you can always hear them whooping. It&#8217;s a really joyful experience!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trail running and hiking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220827_0929242.jpg\" alt=\"hiking with your dog\" class=\"wp-image-2683\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220827_0929242.jpg 700w, https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/20220827_0929242-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Signal Hill has some fantastic little paths for trail running and hiking. We regularly hike up the trail from Upper Rhine Rd in Sea Point, and then run back down &#8212; there&#8217;s a fantastic amount of variation in the route, going from flat sandy sections to gravelly rock and shifting again to large slabs of rock you can launch yourself off of. It&#8217;s beginner-friendly too (I&#8217;m an absolute beginner!) so I&#8217;d definitely recommend it if you want to try your hand at trail running.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hilltop is also crisscrossed by trails, so you can take an easy stroll with no elevation. You can also hike or run from Signal Hill directly onto Lion&#8217;s Head if you&#8217;re up for more of a challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mountain biking<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This hill has a surprising number of mountain biking routes, some of which you share with hikers. They&#8217;re challenging and rocky, with some loose gravel. The routes range from intermediate to expert &#8212; except for The Big Easy, a beginner singletrack! You can check out Signal Hill&#8217;s biking trails and their difficulty ratings <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trailforks.com\/region\/signal-hill\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.

Particularly if you&#8217;re visiting in spring, be sure to take your time to stop and smell the fynbos. There are many delicate little flowers and hardy shrubs growing on this city hill, and it&#8217;s an ever-changing scene throughout the year. Just be sure not to pick the plants. Many plants are indigenous to this single spot in the whole world, and need to be carefully protected from harm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visit Signal Hill<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I hope you&#8217;re convinced that Signal Hill is well worth a visit! Whether you&#8217;re keen for some exercise in nature, a romantic date with a view, or some <a href=\"https:\/\/wandercapetown.com\/tips\/adventure-activities-in-cape-town\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">adventure sports<\/a>, it&#8217;s got more to offer than meets the eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Next to Lion&#8217;s Head, Signal Hill is Cape Town&#8217;s most iconic hill.
