ARRIVAL IN CAPE TOWN

Airport

Cape Town International Airport (flight information, tel: 934 0407) is on the Cape Flats, 22 km and half an hour's drive (longer during rush hour) from the city centre.

Intercape operates two shuttle buses from the airport: there’s a scheduled service to the main train terminus, running on the half hour and costing R30. From their office in the international terminal they operate a door-to-door transfer service which goes to anywhere on the Peninsula.

A cheaper door-to-door option is the 24-hour Backpackers Airport Shuttle, a minibus that takes passengers from the airport to anywhere in the city centre. The service operates in response to demand, which means you'll either need to pre-book or wait up to 45 minutes for them to get to the airport.

If you want to travel by car, there are taxi ranks outside the terminals (about R100 to the city centre). Please note that taxis must display the driver's name and a clearly visible meter. Inside the terminals you'll find the desks of the major car rental firms. There are no trains from the airport.

Intercity buses and trains

Greyhound, Intercape, and Translux intercity buses and mainline trains from other provinces, all terminate in the centre of town around the interlinked central complex that includes the railway station and the Golden Acre shopping mall. Everything you need for your next move is within two or three blocks of here.

Information

The best place for information is the Cape Town Tourist Information Office, on the corner of Burg and Castle Sts.
