Investec Cape Town Art Fair 2027 takes place at the Cape Town International Convention Centre.
CTICC is located in central Cape Town and is easily accessible from the city centre, V&A Waterfront, Green Point, Sea Point and surrounding hotel districts.
Cape Town International Airport is the main airport for domestic and international arrivals.
Travel time from the airport to CTICC is usually around 20 to 30 minutes by taxi, rideshare or private transfer, depending on traffic.
Visitors staying in the city centre or near the waterfront may be able to reach the venue by taxi, rideshare or hotel shuttle.
Walking may be possible from nearby hotels, but visitors should consider weather, time of day and personal safety.
Parking is available at or near CTICC, although public transport, taxis and rideshare services may be simpler during busy fair periods.
International visitors planning gallery openings or evening events should arrange safe return transport in advance.
Accommodation
The V&A Waterfront is one of the most convenient areas for visitors attending the fair.
It offers hotels, restaurants, shopping, harbour views and easy access to CTICC.
Cape Town city centre is practical for visitors who want to stay close to the convention centre, museums and restaurants.
De Waterkant provides boutique accommodation, cafés and access to both the city centre and Green Point.
Green Point and Sea Point offer oceanfront accommodation, restaurants and nightlife while remaining a short drive from CTICC.
Gardens and Tamboerskloof may appeal to visitors looking for boutique hotels, guesthouses and access to galleries, cafés and Table Mountain routes.
Visitors planning winery trips can also consider adding extra nights in Constantia, Stellenbosch or Franschhoek after the fair.
Choose accommodation based on both fair access and evening plans. Cape Town rewards visitors who combine the art fair with the wider city.
Cape Town Art Highlights
Visitors should use the fair as a starting point for exploring Cape Town’s broader cultural landscape.
The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa is one of the city’s most important institutions for contemporary art from Africa and the diaspora.
The Norval Foundation presents modern and contemporary art in a setting connected with landscape, architecture and sculpture.
The Iziko South African National Gallery offers historical and contemporary perspectives on South African art.
Commercial galleries in Woodstock, the city centre and other neighbourhoods often schedule important exhibitions during fair week.
