METRORAIL

Getting around by metro

With the Cape Town Aerial Metro, you can travel safely during the day to Simon's Town by stopping at the waterfront. To Muizenberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek. Another line passes through Bellville and branches off either to Stellenbosch or to Paarl and Wellington. The stations are central and you can walk to the points of interest or the beach. This is a good option for those who do not have a car and want to see the surroundings of Cape Town at their own pace and without spending too much money. Count 1 hour from Cape Town to Simon's Town. Not recommended after 7pm.

INTERCAB

Taxi and VTC

Once the evening comes, it is not always safe to walk or wait for the bus, so we call a reliable company, present everywhere in the city: Intercab. This agency also offers sightseeing tours in the peninsula and along the wine route if you are interested.
