Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum

This is a tourist attraction area because of the colourful houses. You don’t require tickets to get in, it’s free and open to public. Just be wary of those people on the streets that offer to look after your car as you go take photos. They are very forceful and persistent. It’s a very picture worthy place as the colourful houses makes the area look like a vibrant and lively community. There is also a lady on the corner street that is selling some really good food. Please visit her. Her food is absolutely divine.

The museum is great place where to start your exploring of Bo-Kaap area. You can see some basic info about this place and also find some touchy information about the history of Cape Town.
The staff is very nice and helpful. After that, I started to walk around and it is my winning place in the whole city. Try also some local food on the street????

The colourful homes are the first thing that catch your attention about Bo-Kaap. Looking into the rich history and heritage of the Cape Malay people is far more fascinating than the pictures you'll take. Take the time to take the free walk that captures the history of the people who created this community - you'll thank yourself for it.

Beautiful houses with amazing colors. We spent the afternoon just walking around popped into some of the shops of the mainland. Drive up the Noon guns lookout point as well for an amazing view of the city

Bo-Kaap..
A vibrant breathing neighborhood with a palpable vibe and pulse.
Previously known as the Malay Quarter during the era where slaves were brought down from Dutch colonies in Malaysia, it is The epicentre of the Cape Malay culture and is steeped in history and culture. The annual parade of Cape minstrels, the Tweede Nuwe Jaar, usually held on 2nd January each year, and is one of the best days to experience the rich culture and friendly spirit of the people. It has been postponed for these past years though due to Covid 19 concerns.
The colourful houses celebrate the joy of the newly freed slaves from history, and the delightful people of present. The arches are lovely to behold, the communal life interesting to observe ????
The mosque dates back to the 18th century, with the Quran originally written purely from memory by the first Iman. The Iman we met was also very friendly and took us around in the true spirit of brotherhood- little tip- Step into the mosque with the Right foot first, step out left foot first ????
All in all, vl a very rich cultural experience.
