Cape Town, As You’ve Never Seen Before

-

With a strategic location between the sea and sand, Cape Town is a stunner and its stunning scenery means - you get to enjoy them for free. You can enjoy a stroll at the V&A Waterfront, admire multi-coloured houses, leisure on a beach or scale the Table Mountain and visit the National Park too.
Like many of the big cities, the sights and sounds of Cape Town might be pricey. But when you add a few sights, dining and other travel cost, things can be pretty affordable. If you start scratching the surface, there's so much to see, do and experience without spending much. An amazing infrastructure, cultural mishmash, beach activities, festivals and food is what people book cheap flights to Cape Town for.

Experience Cape Town Your Way
The best way to explore a city is through walking tours and Cape Town walking tours are legendary. With a guide you can easily opt for different routes. In Cape Town, you can enjoy Historic Tours, Food Tours, Beach Tours as well as Shopping Tours. As mentioned earlier about the V&A Waterfront, there are tours and self-guided walks that can be arranged. Make sure you book Cape Town flights much prior to your departure to avoid last minute hassles.
Cape Town brims with amazing parks and gardens. Right at the core of Cape Town one can explore Company's Garden and feed the friendly squirrels. Families can be seen enjoying picnics. The exterior labyrinth of the Green Point Urban Park has a children's park and a play area. Just 30 minutes from this park, there is a home for hippos and 250 bird species. During summers a series of concerts take place in the park.
Cape Town's sea is quite chilly even during summers. So if you crave for a dip, just advance towards one of the public swimming pools. One such pool is the Sea Point Pavilion that has a glamorous setting. It is quite reasonable.
Explore Cape's Museum
The Iziko Museum Corporation runs around 12 museums all over South Africa with free entry to each one of them. Some museums might ask for donations but most of them are free. Some famous museums include Centre for the Book at the National Library, the Cape Town Holocaust Centre, the Cape Medical Museum and Rhodes Cottage in Muizenberg.
Several late-night galleries experience a huge crowd with assorted cultural events and workshops. Street graffiti is extremely famous in Cape Town and there are tours too.
If you plan to visit any of the paid sights and attractions, your money will not go waste in purchasing a city pass. Whether you wish to ride the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, get an entrance into the Castle of Good Hope and the Cape Town Aquarium, the Cape Town City Pass will allow you to skip the line and obtain the tickets.


Where Can You Eat & Drink
Cape Town markets and neighbourhoods are amazing. The Old Biscuit Mill houses vegan and organic options. The Palms Arcade is open from morning till night and offers impeccable food joints. Do not forget to check out food courts at the V&A Waterfront.

The Cape Town outskirts are oozing with vineyards and wine regions. Paarl and Stellenbosch can be explored for some taste. Just 15 minutes away lay the Constantia wine region. Explore both ancient and new wineries. Even places such as Newlands and Kloof have kept their wine concepts. If you're more of a beer fan, try the Newlands Brewery. It's not to be missed. There are several London to Cape Town flights with reasonable fares and special discounts. Book them much in advance before you plan to travel.

Cradle of Humankind-Johannesburg

-

Going 45 minutes beyond the hustle bustle of Johannesburg is an ancient, natural wonder that seems to be belonging to the world of boondocks. It is called the Cradle of Humankind and it is an attraction that you can’t afford to miss at any cost when you are in Johannesburg.  Though i had been hearing about the Cradle of the Humankind since years but was not really very thrilled to go as i  was not actually keen to know the history of humankind or story of human evolution. I did not like the subject in my school days too but the way it was depicted here at the Cradle was something most amazing and interesting. The way they described how we evolved millions of years back and every detail of the history that is hidden between the layers of the rocks was very fascinating.  A lot more was added to our already existing knowledge. The two main attractions in that area are Maropeng and the Sterkfontein Caves. The uniqueness of the Maropeng includes overview of the last fe...

Bo Kaap-Cape Town

  With Signal Hill standing proudly at the backdrop, the houses of Bo-Kaap are very bright and colourful. A lot of people consider the area to be one of the trendiest areas of Cape Town. De Waterkant, the neighbouring town of Bo kaap is a fine example of transformation of a city into one of the most voguish and expensive areas over the recent areas. Some of the finest restaurants and wine bars are situated here and now you could understand why it was on our top list when we booked our flights to South Africa . Reaching early on fine Saturday morning last week, we took a trail along the corner of Buitengracht and Wale Street and walked towards the Signal Hill which lead to Bo-Kaap. The fascinating town in neighbourhood holds the time beautifully, where children play untroubled in the narrow alleys. Most of the buildings here date back to the year 1840 which have amazingly survived the apartheid years in South Africa. We stopped at the Bo-kaap museum for about two hours f...
