Cape Town
South Africa
Table Mountain, two oceans and a food and wine scene worth slowing down for.
Why travellers love it
Cape Town gathers an extraordinary amount into one region: a flat-topped mountain you can hike or cable-car up, beaches on both the Atlantic and False Bay sides, historic neighbourhoods, and wine country less than an hour away. It rewards travellers who like choice.
When to consider going
Summer (November to March) is warm and lively; winter brings cooler, greener days and quieter attractions. Conditions vary year to year, so we check current details with you when planning.
Planning notes
The city is hilly and spread out, so we plan neighbourhoods and transport carefully. As everywhere, keep everyday city precautions in mind. Entry and health rules change, so always review official government advice before you travel.
