Architecture in the City Centre (2 hours)

Cape Town is a vibrant city and due to its position has always been considered a prized location for European settlers. As such Cape Town has been occupied by Dutch and British, each new group has left a lasting contribution to our architecture. During this tour, we will incorporate a variety of buildings from the last 350 years and include structures with both Dutch and British influence along with the more modern architecture of the 1940s Art Deco era.
