Get to know Cape Town
Set between mountain and ocean, Cape Town brings together coastal scenery, neighbourhood discoveries and a varied food scene. Build an itinerary that leaves time for both the city and its natural surroundings.
Places and experiences to explore
- Explore the Cape Peninsula and Cape Point.
- Discover the gardens at Kirstenbosch.
- Make time for the Atlantic Seaboard and the city’s neighbourhoods.
Bring the city and its surroundings together
Cape Town offers several different kinds of trip in one setting. You might focus on neighbourhood walks and food, make time for gardens and natural scenery, or build a longer itinerary around the Cape Peninsula. Choose the experiences that matter most to you before deciding where to stay. Keeping nearby visits together leaves more room for the scenery and for an unhurried lunch, rather than turning every day into a series of transfers.
Keep outdoor plans flexible
A little flexibility is useful when your plans depend on outdoor attractions. Check local conditions and operating arrangements before travelling to a viewpoint, garden or excursion departure. Keep an alternative city activity in mind if your first plan needs to change. For your flight enquiry, include the departure airport, dates, passenger numbers and any onward travel. Our team can then discuss the route in the context of the journey you actually want to make.
Planning your visit
Outdoor plans can depend on local weather and operating conditions. Keep your schedule flexible and check with attraction operators before setting out.
Getting around
Group nearby visits together and plan transfers for excursions beyond your accommodation area.
A useful travel tip
Use the official tourism maps and visitor guidance when planning a day beyond the city centre.
