Planning notes for Cape Town

Cape Town, located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa, is the country’s legislative capital and its oldest city, established by the Dutch East India Company in 1652. Originally founded as a refreshment station for ships traveling between Europe and Asia, the city’s historical heritage is characterized by the convergence of Dutch, British, and Southeast Asian influences. The architectural landscape includes the Castle of Good Hope.

Must-try foods nearby

  • Gatsby
    The ultimate Cape Town street food: a massive sub-style sandwich designed for sharing.
  • Bobotie
    A cornerstone of Cape Malay cuisine, this comforting baked dish consists of spiced minced meat (usually beef or lamb) topped with a savory egg-based custard.
  • Snoek (Grilled or Smoked)
    A long, thin species of mackerel found in the cold Atlantic waters off the Cape coast.
  • Cape Malay Curry
    Distinct from Indian curries, this local version is known for its fragrant, mild-to-medium heat and fruity undertones.
  • Koesister
    Not to be confused with the twisted Afrikaner 'koeksister,' the Cape Malay koesister is a spicy, cake-like dumpling flavored with ginger, cinnamon, and aniseed.

When to go: The best time to visit Cape Town is during the summer months from December to February, which offer hot, dry weather ideal for beaches and outdoor activities. For a balance of pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds.

Local tips

  • Use e-hailing services like Uber for transport after dark rather than walking or using unmarked minibus taxis.

  • Always keep your phone and valuables out of sight while walking in public and avoid displaying large amounts of cash.
  • When invited to a local braai, it is polite to bring your own beverages and offer to contribute a side dish or snack.
