Cape Town
As one of the world’s most popular tourism hot spots, Cape Town is the preferred choice of many 2010 World Cup supporters. Football fans have opted to make the city their 2010 World Cup base for the duration, regardless of where their national team is located.
Natural Attractions
The city is a wholly unique African destination with a very distinctive brand. Natural attractions include:
- Two World Heritage Sites – the majestic Table Mountain National Park and Robben Island
- The Cape Winelands
- Soft, white beaches
- ’Big Five’ game parks
World class entertainment, excellent shopping experiences and a range of exciting activities complete the product.
It’s one of the few cities in the world that can boast a conservation wilderness area within its city limits, the Table Mountain National Park.
Table Mountain Aerial Cableway
A state-of-the art aerial cableway is on hand to ferry visitors to the top of Table Mountain, one of the most recognisable icons of Cape Town, South Africa and the continent as a whole. Savour a light lunch, complimented with a locally produced wine or beer whilst enjoying an aerial view of the city and beyond.
Whale-watching
As a coastal city, the ocean is one of Cape Town’s defining elements. Both the warm Indian and Cold Atlantic lap its shores. Whales, dolphins and protected penguins are all regular visitors to the Cape coast. In fact, premier whale watching falls within the time frame of the 2010 World Cup.
Nightlife
Cape Town is undoubtedly South Africa’s most cosmopolitan city, boasting a fine selection of first rate restaurants, nightclubs, pubs and theatres. Sample a local cocktail on the Camps Bay strip or bump and grind the night away at one of the many city centre or suburban night clubs.

There are a number of shopping malls in and around the city, with the V&A Waterfront in the CBD, Cavendish Square in Claremont and Canal Walk in Milnerton the pick of the bunch. With the favourable exchange rate, visitors can expect to pick up quality goods at bargain prices!
