15 Best Museums in Cape Town

"A sprawling building near the shoreline of Table Bay, the Castle of Good Hope is a 17th-century site that draws large crowds. Daily tours tell the rich history of the colonial building, which dates back to 1666. There are a number of elements to see, from the prison cells to the governor's house to the gruesome torture chamber. There's a lot to take in, so make the most of the experience by booking a guided tour." - Mary Holland
