Before you fly into Cape Town Airport, it really does pay to plan ahead and book your accommodation prior to your arrival, especially if you are visiting between mid-December and early January, or at Easter. This is a very large and spreading South African city and so you will need to think carefully whether you want to stay in the suburbs by the Atlantic beaches and the False Bay, or in the more central City Bowl and Gardens areas.
Cape Town Airport (CPT) is one of South Africa's major transport centres, handling connections to all parts of the country. Each year the airport receives vast numbers of tourists, who come to enjoy the abundant natural, historical, cultural and recreational highlights of the Western Cape, such as the walking trails and cable car rides to the very top of the famous Table Mountain, whilst looking for hotels or similar accommodation.
