Highlights

Explore the history and evolution of the Mother City and the Cape with a special emphasis on art, culture and heritage. The programme follows a traditional city tour routing, but includes visits to galleries which showcase historical and contemporary works, telling a story about the city over time. There is much to discover in respect of the European influence on the Cape’s architecture as well which is evident as the tour meanders through the streets of Cape Town.

Itinerary

  • Bo-kaap

    30 minsAdmission Ticket Free
    Start the day with a drive through Bo-Kaap to discover how the Malay slaves influenced the culture, food and aesthetics of this beautiful city and its people.
  • Company's Gardens

    2 hoursAdmission Ticket Free
    Visit the Company Gardens and enjoy a walk through this inner city oasis to the South African National Gallery. Regular exhibitions enable the museum to have a full programme of temporary exhibitions of paintings, works on paper, photography, sculpture, beadwork, textiles and architecture that provide insight into the extraordinary range of aesthetic production in this country, the African continent and further afield. On the Wale Street end of the garden an architectural structure commissioned by Design Indaba that commemorates the work and life of one of South Africa’s most celebrated figures, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Arch for Arch was installed beside historic St. George's Cathedral.
  • South African National Gallery

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Continue to the Cape Gallery which is set in the heart of the old city off the Church Street walking mall flanked by colourful Georgian and Dutch facades. Here you will find some of the oldest and prestigious galleries, antique shops and auction houses in Cape Town. Central to the tradition of South African painting is the abiding love of the land. Early Cape painters were 'reporters' who described the topography, flora and fauna of this fascinating land, a conservative approach which is still favoured by the gallery's clients today. Recently the emergence of the vibrant street art has added an essentially African character to the work on display.
  • Castle of Good Hope

    1 hoursAdmission Ticket Included
    Visit the Castle of Good Hope which is home to the William Fehr Collection of historical paintings and period furniture which have a special relevance to the Cape. A lunch stop will be made at Truth Coffee Roasting Co. which a ‘steampunk inspired’ artisan coffee shop serving all hand-roasted coffees in a vintage cast-iron drum.
