READ THE GUIDE & BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS TO CAPE TOWN

First timers

With cheap flights to Cape Town, a holiday of wildlife spotting and sporting activities is more affordable than ever. Sunbathe with friendly penguins on Boulders Beach, catch waves in Jeffreys Bay (known locally as J-Bay), or sip cocktails on Clifton Beach. The city’s vibrant nightlife ranges from live music at the Waterfront and cultural performances at Artscape to clubbing in the Gardens district.

Frequent flyers

Leave Table Mountain to the tourists and hike up Lion’s Head for a different aerial view of the Cape. Explore the underrated West Coast to find superb windsurfing, and see cabaret at Evita se Perron in Darling. If you’ve done the famous wine routes, you’ll find lesser-known wineries in places like Constantia. Make your frequent flights to Cape Town a fresh experience every time you visit.


Shops

Take a flight to Cape Town with an empty suitcase and buy designer accessories in Canal Walk, the city’s biggest shopping mall. For handmade crafts, avoid the touristy Waterfront and haggle in Long Street or Greenmarket Square. On Saturdays, locals stock up on organic goods in the up-and-coming Observatory quarter.

Nights

Join the trendy crowd in Kloof Street, lined with terrace restaurants and late-night bars. For gourmet burgers and traditional African dishes, visit Long Street. Camps Bay is where romantic sunsets and the ocean provide a backdrop to fresh fish and sundowners. A cheap flight to Cape Town means more cash to spend on partying.
