Global City Guidebook: Cape Town, South Africa

Cape Town is not only one of the capitals of South Africa but also the oldest city in the country. Cape Town hugs the Port of Cape Town in Table Bay, extending to the Hottentots Holland Mountains. The city endured years of segregation during apartheid, including uprisings. Today the city continues to rebound in a post-apartheid era, with many major companies headquartered in the city center, popular beaches teeming with visitors in warmer months, engaging museums and aquariums, and a thriving tourist industry promoting the city’s culture and natural beauty.

Best of Both Worlds

Enjoy the best of both worlds when you fly with TAP Air Portugal thanks to the Portugal Stopover program. With the program, TAP passengers, whether traveling for business, leisure or both, can stop in Portugal for up to 10 days at no additional airfare on the way to their final destination. What does this mean for travelers wishing to explore by both land and sea? It means after flying to Portugal with TAP and experiencing the country in an entirely new way, travelers can then embark on scenic river and ocean cruises from  Portugal’s port cities, or fly with TAP to another European destination.

Review: Arlo Midtown

ARRIVAL/CHECK-IN: After your train arrives at Penn Station, the last thing you want is a long journey to your hotel room, which makes Arlo Midtown the perfect choice for a Manhattan trip. The hotel is conveniently located a mere 10-minute walk from the transportation hub. We easily made our way, luggage in tow, through the hustle and bustle of the city and through the hotel’s inviting front doors. The lobby’s interior has an open feel, sleek and hip, with lush greenery placed along shelves and hanging from planters, adding life to the space. The welcoming and kind front desk attendant quickly checked us in.
