The layovers in Frankfurt are long, about 10 hours out and 14 hours back, so plan to leave the airport or bring a good book. The long-haul leg to Cape Town is a non-stop Condor flight.
💰 How far does your money go?
A flat white in Berlin costs €4. In Cape Town, a good one is about €2, and a Castle Lager at a bar costs €2-2.50. A fish and chips lunch at Kalk Bay harbour is around €6, and a wine tasting in Stellenbosch often costs less than a cocktail in Mitte.
☀️ The Weather
December is high summer in Cape Town. Expect highs of 26-27°C, nights around 17°C, long sunny days and very little rain. The 'Cape Doctor' southeasterly wind blows often, and the Atlantic stays cold at 15-16°C, so head to False Bay for a swim.
