CAPE TOWN IN FIVE WORDS

Why Cape Town? If you don’t know the answer to this question, you’ve obviously never been there. Below are five reasons to visit the Mother City on your next trip.

1. BEACHES

With its pristine white sand and crystal clear blue waters, Cape Town has some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. It’s also the place where oceans meet, offering a diverse range of beaches dotted all along the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean side. Each beach has its own character, often mirroring the vibe of the locals who frequent it.

2. WINE

The city is literally on the doorstep of the Cape Winelands. Visit one of South Africa’s oldest wine farms, Klein Constantia, and taste the famous Vin de Constance, favoured by the likes of Frederick the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte and King George IV. Or go on a tour of the scenic wineries and taste the lip-smacking wines of the Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek areas.

3. FOOD

Immerse yourself in the culinary centre that is Cape Town. The city is littered with excellent eateries that offer everything from Michelin starred restaurants to the wide variety of small eateries that make up the Eastern Food Bazaar.

4. MOUNTAIN

You can’t talk about Cape Town without mentioning Table Mountain. The iconic mountain that forms the backdrop to the Mother City is a significant tourist attraction. Take the cable car to the 1000 metre high plateau or work up a sweat hiking to the top on one of the many trails.

5. NIGHTLIFE

At night this seemingly sleepy city comes alive offering something for everyone, whether its laid-back drinks at the Waterfront or jamming on a packed dance floor to some underground electro beats. Cape Town’s city centre is rich in great bars, especially on Long and Bree streets which are safe and busy, and there are plenty of taxis to take you home in the early hours of the morning.

FlyWestair now offers flights from Eros Airport to Cape Town International, via Oranjemund.
