Description
Explore Cape Town on foot and enjoy beautiful scenery combined with historic sites such as the Castle of Good Hope, built by the Dutch; Cape Town City Hall; the Grand Parade, where Nelson Mandela first addressed the nation as a free man after 27 years in jail; and Church Square, where slaves would wait for their owners under the slave tree. You’ll also pass by the Slave Lodge, devoted to the history and experiences of slaves and their descendants in the Cape; Greenmarket Square, with a daily crafts and souvenir market, surrounded by the Old Town House and art-deco architecture; St George’s Cathedral, known as the people’s cathedral for its role against Apartheid; and the Bo-Kaap, with its colourful houses and narrow, cobbled streets. You’ll also walk past the Western Cape High Court, Company’s Gardens, South African Museum, South African National Gallery, Old Synagogue, Houses of Parliament, St Mary’s Cathedral, and the District Six Museum, where the walk ends.
