Bo-Kaap, a nice neighbourhood to see in Cape Town<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most visited places in Cape Town is its beautiful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood. Emblematic for its famous houses of a thousand colours, Bo-Kaap is a Malay neighbourhood with a Muslim majority, so in addition to the striking houses you can see the curious coloured mosques, which are unique in the world. One example is the green-coloured Auwal Mosque, the first mosque founded in South Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Touring the Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, especially with a guide to tell you about the tragic slave history behind its bright colours, is one of the most enriching experiences you can have on a trip to Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"30750\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-cape-town\/attachment\/the-best-places-to-see-in-cape-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"the best places to see in Cape Town\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Bo-Kaap, one of the most beautiful and striking neighbourhoods to see in Cape Town @unsplash&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"the best places to see in Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-30750\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/the-best-places-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bo-Kaap, one of the most beautiful and striking neighbourhoods to see in Cape Town @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-2-table-mountain-an-indispensable-must-see-in-cape-town\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-Table-Mountain-a-must-see-in-Cape-Town\"><\/span>2. Table Mountain, a must-see in Cape Town<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Tafelberg, known in English as Table Mountain, is a must-see in Cape Town. But the reality is that you&#8217;ll see it even if you don&#8217;t want to. It&#8217;s an impressive 1055-metre-high mountain whose summit is actually a flat surface of about 3km that resembles a table and has given it its curious name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although you&#8217;re bound to see it from a distance, it&#8217;s well worth the drive up to Table Mountain and climb to the top, where you&#8217;ll get the best views of Cape Town. There are two ways up: on foot and by funicular, which may be closed due to adverse weather conditions. Funicular tickets can be bought in advance and cost 250 rand, or about <strong>\u20ac15<\/strong>, and 110 rand for children, about <strong>\u20ac6.5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"424\" data-attachment-id=\"30751\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-cape-town\/attachment\/a-must-see-in-cape-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C424&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,424\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"a-must-see-in-Cape-Town\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=300%2C124&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C424&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=1024%2C424&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"a must-see in Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-30751\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=300%2C124&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/a-must-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C318&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Table Mountain, the symbol of Cape Town<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-3-jard-n-bot-nico-of-kirstenbosch\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3-Kirstenbosch-Botanical-Gardens\"><\/span>3. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At the foot of Table Mountain lies another of Cape Town&#8217;s most beautiful spots, its Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Contrary to what you might imagine, this botanical garden is practically a forest where nature invades everything. At more than 500 hectares, it is considered by many to be the most beautiful botanical garden in Africa, with an enviable biodiversity and a firm commitment to protecting the indigenous plant species of the Cape Peninsula.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Walking through the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is a must-do experience on any traveller&#8217;s itinerary. You&#8217;ll be amazed as you walk through a garden that in a matter of metres becomes nature at its wildest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Hours<\/strong>: Every day from 8:30am to 5:30pm <strong>Price<\/strong>: adults R55 (\u20ac3.30), students R30 (\u20ac1.77), children R15 (\u20ac0.88) and children under 6, free of charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped \u2018wp-block-gallery wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"30755\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-cape-town\/attachment\/where-to-eat-in-cape-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"30755\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Where to eat in Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-30755\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Where-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-attachment-id=\"30757\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-cape-town\/attachment\/what-to-eat-in-cape-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"768,1024\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1\" data-id=\"30757\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"What to eat in Cape Town\" class=\"wp-image-30757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/What-to-eat-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens, the most beautiful thing to see in Cape Town and Africa @unsplash<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-4-long-street\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4-Long-Street\"><\/span>4.

The views from the Cape of Good Hope are absolutely breathtaking. The waves of the blue sea crashing fiercely against the cliffs, the wilderness, the indigenous flora and fauna&#8230; make the Cape of Good Hope a unique place on the planet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most convenient way to get there on your own is by hire car or taxi. If you prefer to hire a tour, the price usually starts from \u20ac50 and upwards and takes in other interesting spots on the Cape Peninsula such as Boulders Beach and Cape Point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-boulders-beach\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Boulders-Beach\"><\/span>Boulders Beach<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you reach the beautiful Cape of Good Hope on your journey from Cape Town, you will pass one of the most magical places in South Africa, Boulders Beach. This magnificent beach is part of the Table Mountain National Park. So, it&#8217;s under protection for the preservation of the landscape and natural environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the beauty of the scenery, with the impressive rocks overlooking the sea, Boulders Beach is home to the largest colony of African penguins in the country and on the continent. This species is endangered, so a trip to Bpulders Beach is a unique opportunity to see such a majestic animal as the African penguin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full \u2018wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" data-attachment-id=\"30754\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/south-africa\/things-to-do-cape-town\/attachment\/boulders-beach-to-see-in-cape-town\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,683\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?fit=1024%2C683&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=1024%2C683&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30754\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?w=1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/passporterapp.com\/en\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Boulders-Beach-to-see-in-Cape-Town.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Boulders Beach, the Cape Town beach where to see the largest colony of African penguins @unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-c-how-to-get-to-cape-town\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-get-to-Cape-Town\"><\/span>How to get to Cape Town?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cape Town has its own airport, Cape Town International Airport, which has direct flights from various European cities such as Amsterdam and London. Once at the airport, 20km away, getting to the city centre is easy. There are several means of transport that will get you to the centre of Cape Town in about 20 minutes. These range from private services, such as taxis and shuttles, to public buses. Taxis are called \u2018Touch Down\u2019 and you can hail one directly at the airport at one of the counters. If you prefer to go by bus, it&#8217;s best to take one of the \u2018MyCity\u2019 buses from the central terminal. They leave every 20 minutes. It is not possible to pay in cash, you will have to get your MyCity card first. The bus drops you off at the bus station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"\u2018h-d-n-where-and-what-to-eat-in-cape-city\u2019\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where-and-what-to-eat-in-Cape-Town\"><\/span>Where and what to eat in Cape Town?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>South African cuisine has been influenced by many peoples throughout history, from the traditional cuisine of the indigenous peoples to that brought by the European colonisers.

However, if you prefer to travel in the low season with fewer tourists and better deals, the ideal months are June to August.
