Cape Town
Nature, sports and European-style sophistication
Discover a Mediterranean-style African city with a flight to Cape Town. Characterised by the imposing Table Mountain and an impulsive ocean, Cape Town offers challenging outdoor activities and a vibrant nightlife.
Things to do
Flights to Cape Town deliver the alfresco experience. Go windsurfing in Camps Bay, penguin-spotting in Boulders Beach or wine-tasting in Constantia, and come home from your Cape Town city break invigorated.
Shopping
Greenmarket Square sells wooden handicrafts to take home on your flight back from Cape Town. Constantia offers premium wines and Greenpoint dazzles with diamonds. For everything else, there is the V&A Waterfront, a bustling entertainment centre.
Restaurants
Super-sized steaks and fresh fish dominate Cape Town menus. Kalk Bay and Camps Bay have views and seafood, while Long Street is the place to try game. Enjoy a small bite to eat with a cocktail or glass of wine in Kloof Street.
Nightlife
Travel to Cape Town and catch cabaret and comedy shows or free live performances at the V&A Waterfront. Locals head to the bars in Camps Bay at sunset, and move on to Greenpoint clubs as night falls.
When to go
KLM has frequent flights to Cape Town. Choose airline tickets to coincide with some of the city's top events, like whale watching in September or the summer concerts at Kirstenbosch.
