Cape Town is the place where Europeans first settled in South Africa. The Dutch Jan van Riebeeck arrived on the 6th April 1652 not to establish a colony, but a base to provide passing ships with fresh supplies. Since, its fascinating history was shaped by maritime trade, colonialism, cultural mixing, oppression, hope and freedom. This walking tour shows you some of its rich and colourful heritage.
