Colorful Bo-Kaap has a fascinating history and unique culture that you simply must discover. Tucked away beneath the slopes of Signal Hill, this suburb was once known as the Malay Quarter. It's a vibrant neighborhood with a rich Cape Malay culture and roots as old as Cape Town itself.
Located just outside Cape Town's city center, the Bo-Kaap Museum is the place to visit if you want to learn more about the local Muslim community, its history, and culture. After your visit, stroll through the cobbled streets and discover even more.
