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™ will be about much more than the game of football. To get the full experience, every fan and visitor is encouraged to 'kick' on Beyond the 90 Minutes for special offers to give you 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.

"Beyond the 90 Minutes" itineraries are the shortest itineraries for you to squeeze in between games.
"Beyond 90 Kilometres" itineraries take you to the outskirts of the city beyond Cape Town stadium.
"Beyond 90 Hours" itineraries are for you if you have one to four 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 fans like you enjoying themselves at www.youtube.com/tourismcapetown.
