The colourful suburb of Bo Kaap retains the atmosphere of a culture that has been so important in shaping Cape Town as we know it today. Once called the Malay Quarter, it came into being during the Colonial and Apartheid eras. Today, these people still make up the majority of residents and this quaint suburb with cobbled streets and brightly coloured homes is a real spectacle. Add in some Cape Malay cuisine to fully immerse yourself in a spice rich culture originating from the east, but with an African touch!
