Cape Town Itinerary: What to Do in 3, 4, or 5 Days (Updated 2025)

"The Iziko South African National Gallery houses an extensive collection of South African and African art alongside English, Dutch, and French works from the 17th to 19th centuries, and it regularly rotates contemporary exhibitions; it also offers insightful context on art and censorship during apartheid and is well worth a visit." - Matthew Kepnes
