History:

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa and also the most culturally aware.
Cape Town's rich colonial history has endowed the city with some distinctive old buildings in the distinctive Cape Dutch style with its whitewashed walls, ornate gables and thatched roofs. Some of the best examples of these are to be found on the many wineries, the most easily accessible of which is Groot Constantia in Cape Town's southern suburbs. An easy stroll along the 'Historical Mile' between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay will take you past Posthuys, the oldest building in South Africa.

An array of interesting museum can be found in and around Cape Town including the District Six museum, a doll museum and a police museum. You can also visit the Robben Island museum in the V&A Waterfront, followed by a ferry trip and a tour of the island itself to take a glimpse of the sell that former president Nelson Mandela was kept.

The Bo-Kaap Museum documents the history of this colorful area, and a meal in one of the local restaurants is a culinary delight as well as a cultural experience.
