Cape Town Flight Guide

Cape Town is among the largest cities in South Africa and is situated at the "Cape of Good Hope". It is surrounded by stunning mountains and the picturesque Atlantic Ocean which give it a unique charm and natural beauty. Cape Town is home to 2.5 million people and is one of the most important cities in South Africa.

A must during a visit to Cape Town is Table Mountain, as well as the Garden Route and the two Aquariums. Those who are interested in history and politics should go to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held in prison for 28 years. Also worth a visit is the wine-growing area to get a taste of delicious wines and overview the beautiful scenery. South Africans love to party and visitors can join them around Long Street and Greenmarket Square during the evening hours. Art and music lovers should look out for operas, musicals and theatres to experience African tunes and be part of South Africa’s rich cultural diversity.

Most hotels in Cape Town are located around the waterfront including the luxurious Radisson SAS Hotel. There is also a choice of guest houses, some of them with a private swimming pool. Self-catering apartments are a great alternative to hotels, and visitors who prefer staying in the countryside can easily find accommodation along the Garden Route.
Qantas will fly passengers to Cape Town from Sydney, Perth and Melbourne. Travellers will usually stop in Johannesburg on the way, and passengers from other Australian cities (such as Brisbane or Adelaide) will fly via Sydney, Perth or Melbourne. Travel time is around 17 to 26 hours depending on the starting point.
