Castle of Good Hope

Just in the middle of the city lies the oldest building in south africa, the castle. It's a really cool place to visit because of this, and as well because of the artworks and the moat was the best bit.

Robben Island

What an astonishing place. The sadness of the apartheid history here is mixed with the stunning views across to the mainland and the bay with Table Mountain as a backdrop. Be sure to book in advance, we were turned away on our first attempt and booked for later in the week.

Castle of Good Hope

posted by grobertson on 20 October 2010 at 11:04

The former stronghold of the dutch east india company, this building is one of the oldest in south africa and you can really imagine the strength of these merchants as you walk around and explore. with museums to give some context and insight this is a really good day out.

where, when, how, web
centre, near the main railway station (interestingly it used to be by the sea, but land reclamation has pushed it inland)
