People planning a budget trip to Cape Town are advised to buy
backpacker travel insurance as part of their journey preparations.
According to the Associated Press, Cape Town is great value for money and presents a good travel destination for backpackers. Car hire is suggested as the best way of getting around, although bikes and hop-on, hop-off buses are also available as alternatives. Table Mountain is Cape Town's iconic landmark, accessible via an exhilarating 1.8 mile hike, while the lesser-known Signal Hill provides stunning views over the South African city.
The city's waterfront offers hotels and resorts to travellers with more money to spend, but those on a strict budget can still enjoy the street entertainment and take in the brisk sea air, while the local restaurants cater for all tastes. Backpackers can eat heartily for $10 if they so choose.
Travellers should get hold of
backpacker travel insurance to make sure they're covered for any mishaps along the way.
