Castle of Good Hope

Absolutely gorgeous castle, a lot of history behind it and very dark history as well. Interesting interior, do not let the outside fool you, inside is nothing short of incredible. I’m pretty sure it’s haunted with some places looking extremely dark and creepy

Amazingly preserved and restored 17th century castle, that serves as the oldest building in South Africa. 50r to enter and free tours every couple or hours.

Most of the grounds are free to walk and look, with many cool displays of furniture and relics from olden times.

A great display of cultural history of cape town. Many well preserved articals of history and guided tour around the establishment. Loads of renovations and restorations happening so very excited to see some more of what the castle has to offer

We stayed for absolutely hours and walked up and down the castle. (it’s very free reign wandering around the castle) we all learnt a great deal and I really enjoyed the experience. I believe we did make it to all the exhibits but it did take a whole day and we were exhausted by the end of it. Great lots of effort and love invested into the castle for sure though!

It is so run down, needs some tender loving care and maintenance. It was an interesting experience, but tour guide wore mask and had strong accent, so I was unable to benefit from the tour. It is a good place to go to, but don't have high expectations.

So gorgeous, especially if you explore around the walls and find the small corridors, plus the view of table mountain is absolutely unparalleled!

We had an amazing tour from a speedy hilarious man (I'm sorry for not remembering his name!).

Really informative and fun. Plus there was an Uber strike, and the lovely lady at the desk Dièdre helped us find a bus to take home, and walked us there!

Great museum with Cape town's history in painting form.

So thankful, absolutely go there as it's so lovely!
