of Couth Africa is “Pretoria” yet the iconic city or the crown of South Africa is Cape Town. Cape Town is also known as the Mother City in South Africa. It is also one of the most iconic cities in the world.

Cape Town is the second largest city in South Africa and is the capital of the Western Cape Province, as well as being the legislative capital of South Africa. It is located in the south-west corner of the country near the Cape of Good Hope, and is the most southern city in Africa. It is a stone's throw from South Africa's world-famous Cape Winelands around Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. Tourists visit Cape Town for not only its natural wonders but also heritage and cultural sites widespread throughout the city. In December or in general holiday season as in July, Cape Town is one of the busiest cities in the world. The summer months are from December to March or April. Days are usually very hot, but the humidity is low, so it is not uncomfortable. Getting tan at the warm waters in Cape Town beach is one lovely activity, however, midday heat should be avoided by using sun blocks and staying under the shade. You may have to fight for space on the beach around New Year's with all the local tourists but it is still a great time to visit as there are a lot of events happening.

However, due to the uncountable activities, hot happenings and events through out the year, finding cheap flights to Cape Town is one difficult task. The main airport that caters to the needs of this huge air traffic each day is the Cape Town International Airport.
