Known for its laid-back and relaxed atmosphere, Cape Town has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The unique energy of this bustling city lures over a million tourists each year.
The vibrant multi-cultural city at the tip of Africa is rich in fauna and flora and has mesmerising beaches from coast to coast. Even though this famous city is vibrant year-round, to truly experience the magic of the city, you need to have a Cape Town summer.
The city transforms into a summer wonderland. From festivals to long beach days and balmy evenings along the coast, there’s so much to do. Summer in Cape Town starts in December and ends in February, but the warmth and party energy extends all the way to April.
Cape Town’s summer overlaps with school holidays in South Africa, and it’s usually the time when most people take off days to enjoy the holiday season. So if you’re planning to visit Cape Town during the summer, make sure to book your accommodations sooner rather than later. With less than 6 months until summer, accommodation gets booked very quickly.
