"Most people just pop into Bo-Kaap for the perfect Instagram shot—those rainbow-bright row houses make for a great backdrop. But there's much more to this neighborhood than a quick photo op. This historic Muslim enclave is home to members of the vibrant and close-knit Cape Malay community, and this small museum right in the middle of Wale Street is a wonderful primer on the area's history, giving you some of the context you need to explore the neighborhood with respect and understanding." - Sarah Khan
