About Travel to Cape Town
Cape Town is served by its international airport and is a gateway to the Western Cape. November–March is summer—warm and dry; winter (June–August) can be wet and windy but still rewarding. Rent a car or use tours for the peninsula, winelands, and Garden Route. Book Table Mountain cable car and popular restaurants ahead. Allow time for the waterfront, Bo-Kaap, beaches, and at least one day in the winelands or on the peninsula. Be safety-conscious and follow local advice; the city has stark contrasts between areas.
