The indigenous Khoikhoi called this place Camissa — place of sweet waters. On April 6, 1652, Jan van Riebeeck arrived with three ships to build a refreshment station for VOC ships rounding the Cape of Good Hope — not a colony, his orders said, just a garden and a fort. Within decades it had become a full colony, and the convergence of Khoikhoi, Dutch, Malay, and British populations created South Africa's most culturally layered city.

Cape Town is home to two oceans — the Atlantic and the Indian — meeting at Cape Point. The best time to take a virtual walk through Cape Town is november–march (summer, warm and sunny). Must-try local foods in Cape Town include Braai (BBQ), Bobotie, Bunny chow. Table Mountain is best visited early morning to avoid cloud cover. Always lock car doors.
