Cape Town’s own version of the London Eye has just opened at the V&A Waterfront. Named the ‘Wheel of Excellence’, this 50m diameter wheel is smaller than the London Eye (which is 135m high), but similar to the 60m wheel in London’s Hyde Park. The Wheel of Excellence, a fully illuminated giant wheel, features 36 fully enclosed cabins which will treat visitors here over the World Cup to panoramic views of the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town Stadium, Robben Island, Table Mountain, the City and the Paarl mountains.
