The CTICC is conveniently located within walking distance of the city's central business district,transport infrastructures and many of Cape Town's major tourist and entertainment attractions:

The city centre of Cape Town is compact, as it is confined by Table Mountain on one side and theAtlantic Ocean on the other. Hence, the many fine hotels, restaurants and shops, as well as theworld-renowned Cape Town attractions and pristine beaches are no more than 10 minutes drivefrom each other.

Please visit the website at www.capetownconvention.com for directions.
