Cape Town Tourism has launched the Official Guide to Cape Town as a handy mobile app that is free to download for IOS and Android devices.

Those interested can see a video of the app in action at http://www.capetown.travel/officialapp. Targeted predominantly at first-time visitors to Cape Town, the app is like a “local in your pocket” with an insider guide sharing hints and tips from locals alongside a carefully arranged and easy-to-use list of practical tools.

Featuring hundreds of Cape Town sightseeing landmarks, practical visitor information and user-friendly maps, the new Official Guide to Cape Town will also allow visitors to create and store an itinerary as they explore or simply suggest some themed itineraries.
