Transport in Cape Town

It is recommended to rent a car to get around Cape Town, especially if your accommodation is not within walking distance of the workshop venue. The SKA SA office has ample free parking. Additional parking is also available at the Vincent Pallotti hospital next to us.

Travelling to Cape Town

Cape Town has one airport: Cape Town International (CPT). Direct flights to Cape Town International are available from destinations in Europe and the USA. Alternatively, you can fly into O.R. Tambo International Airport (JHB) in Johannesburg and take a domestic connecting flight to Cape Town. If you follow this option, allow enough time in your connection to clear immigrations and customs before checking in for your domestic flight to Cape Town. The domestic terminal is adjacent to the international terminal but it is some distance to walk. Three hours will give you a leisurely connection with some allowance for delays on incoming flights.

Note that it is peak season in Cape Town at the time of the conference. You are advised to make your bookings early to get good rates.
