With a population of 4.2 million people, Cape Town is understandably one of the most hospitable cities in South Africa. Its eclectic mix of stunning landscape and lively casinos and nightclubs means that there really is something for everyone in this increasingly popular city.
Things to see and do:
Tabletop Mountain-Providing a sweeping view over both the city and the beaches, it is not surprising that ‘Tabletop Mountain’ has become the city’s most popular tourist attraction. Whether you want to appreciate the beauty of Cape Town by taking the cable car to the top, or release the adrenaline junkie in you by abseiling off the cliff face, this not to be missed attraction has something for everyone.
The beaches- For a cheap day out, nothing could be better than the experience of Cape Town’s beaches. The warmest water can be found along the False Bay Coast, providing a suitable swimming area for families and surfers alike. The coastline also offers picturesque walks for all levels of fitness.
Nightlife-If you are looking for a lively night out, Cape Town does not fail to deliver. The city’s passion for music is instantly recognisable to any visitor and a warm welcome and cheap drink is readily available.
Getting there:Cape Town International Airport is situated approximately 22km east of the city centre. Getting to and from the airport is not a problem with a taxi service readily available, though the shuttle service may be a cheaper option if you are traveling on a budget.
Location and weather: Situated along the coastline of the Atlantic Ocean, the city tends to enjoy a mild yet fairly consistent climate. The warmest time of the year to go is between October and March when temperatures can reach up to 26 degrees Celsius.
