Cape Town
Nature, sports and European-style sophistication
Take flights to Cape Town to explore a city where the rural and the urban intertwine in an intriguing cultural mosaic.
Things to do
The smell of salt air, the crashing of the waves and glorious views over Robben Island and Table Mountain; start your holiday in Cape Town with a leisurely walk among the joggers, dog-walkers and rollerbladers of the Oceanside Sea Point Promenade.
Shopping
Nestled among the shady piazzas and tree-lined cobbled streets of Cape Town’s De Waterkant district are tiny local shops selling traditional beadwork and jewellery. Flights to Cape Town are the best way to buy elegant African dolls decorated from head to toe in a kaleidoscopic rainbow of little beads.
Restaurants
Wash down tender ostrich steaks with full-bodied Cape Town red wines in one of the oak-tree-shaded farmhouses that dot pretty Stellenbosch. Swap the hustle and bustle of the city is for cool valley winds and wild bird cries.
Nightlife
Flights to Cape Town bring you a contrasting nightlife. Start at sunset with cocktails in Camps Bay, then drive to Greenpoint for European-style nightclubs. The African rhythms of street artists accompany you back to the car.
