14 Best Things to Do in Cape Town

"District Six was a vibrant, mixed-race community in Cape Town until its residents were forcibly evicted by the apartheid government in the 1970s. The original residents have dispersed far and wide, and now this intimate museum stands as a memorial to them. The entire collection of the two-story venue is created from personal artifacts from former residents: pictures, artwork, letters, news clippings, and narrations recorded on tape. While it's certainly not off the beaten path, it makes for a poignant counterpart to Robben Island, allowing you to understand some of what common people endured during apartheid." - Sarah Khan
