Welcome to Cape Town & Western Cape

Welcome to the official tourism website of Cape Town & Western Cape. In addition to being your online source for all information on travelling in and around the destination, it contains great features enabling you to easily plan the trip of your dreams.

In 2010, the FIFA World Cup™ was about much more than the game of football. To get the full experience, every fan and visitor was encouraged to 'kick' on Beyond the 90 Minutes for special offers to get a combination of extraordinary experiences and affordable accommodation.

We want you to experience so many places, people and things above and beyond the football. So we’ve drawn up some itineraries for you to follow, no matter what your interests or how much time you have.

There are half-day itineraries if you are pressed for time, full- day itineraries that will take you in and around the city, and three day itineraries if you have a few days to spare.

Itineraries are categorised into Natural Beauty, Culture & Heritage, Gourmet Delights, Body Mind & Spirit, Cosmopolitan Vibe and Outdoor Active Fun. Everything you need to do, see and experience can be found in these exciting tailor-made guides.

You can also check out visitors like you enjoying themselves at www.youtube.com/tourismcapetown.
