Frequently asked questions
About Cape Town
Cape Town is a vibrant city located on the southwestern coast of South Africa. It is known for its stunning natural beauty, including Table Mountain and the Cape Peninsula. The official currency in Cape Town is the South African Rand (ZAR). With a rich history and diverse culture, Cape Town offers a unique blend of modern city life and traditional African heritage. Visitors can explore the city's many attractions, such as the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, Robben Island, and the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.
When to visit
The best time to visit Cape Town is during the summer months from November to March when the weather is warm and sunny. However, Cape Town experiences a Mediterranean climate, so it is a year-round destination. The winter months from June to August are cooler and wetter, but still offer plenty of indoor activities and cultural experiences. Spring and autumn are also great times to visit, with mild temperatures and fewer crowds.
Getting around
Cape Town has a well-developed transportation system, making it easy for visitors to get around. The city has a reliable bus network, known as MyCiTi, which connects major attractions and suburbs. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also widely available. For those who prefer to explore at their own pace, renting a car is a popular option. Cape Town is a pedestrian-friendly city, and many attractions are within walking distance of each other.
Traveller tips
Be sure to pack sunscreen and a hat, as the sun in Cape Town can be strong, especially during the summer months. Take a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain for breathtaking views of the city and coastline. Don't miss the opportunity to visit the Cape Winelands, located just outside of Cape Town, for wine tastings and scenic vineyard tours. Explore the vibrant food scene in Cape Town, with a wide range of restaurants offering local and international cuisine. Take a boat trip to Robben Island to learn about the history of apartheid and Nelson Mandela's imprisonment.
