Cape Town Essentials

Come to grips with the dramatic historic of this iconic Mother City as you tread through the bustling streets of Cape Town. Old buildings, squares, people and places narrate tales of Dutch and British rule, slavery, apartheid, freedom and democracy.

Start your journey from the city's oldest cobblestone market and practice your bargaining skills in the Green Market Square. Pass through the Grand Parade, City Hall, Castle of Good Hope, the slavery precinct of Slave Lodge and the Company's Garden.

Continue your exploration to District 6 where you will learn about the apartheid regime, then onwards to the traditional Malay Quarter of Bo-Kaap with its brightly colored 17th century houses and cobble-stoned streets.
