Capetown
Dating from the mid-17th century, Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap neighborhood was settled by Muslims.
 
TRAVELER Magazine Capetown
Just north of the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa’s picturesque city of Cape Town has emerged from a turbulent past to become one of the world’s great destinations. Magnificent museums trace the region’s history and culture; its refurbished waterfront combines a working harbor with warehouses converted into chic attractions: restaurants, taverns, shops, hotels, jazz clubs, craft emporiums, and a fine aquarium. Just outside the city, Table Mountain offers spectacular hiking and vistas, and the nearby Winelands region lures visitors with an array of fine vintages. Cape Peninsula stretches south with a string of small towns, lush gardens, rugged coastline, and sandy beaches.
