At the very edge of Africa on Table Bay is Cape Town, South Africa. The Dutch East India Company founded it when they needed a supply port for their big ships going to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Now it’s where the National Parliament meets and is home to the legislature and the provincial and other government offices. It’s the biggest city in terms of area and the second biggest in terms of number of people. Table Mountain, Cape Point and its harbor are the sights people often visit.

Flights into Cape Town touch down at Cape Town International Airport, located about 20 minutes from the Cape Town City Centre. Some flights, however, first stop in Johannesburg. There is no public transportation between the airport and the city.
