Travel in Cape Town
One of the world's most lovely cities, and South Africa's oldest, Cape Town is one of the highlights of any visit to South Africa. The Dutch settlement at Table Bay, under the leadership of Jan van Riebeeck, was established in 1652. Its purpose was to supply fresh produce and meat to the fleets of the Dutch East India company for their voyages between Europe and the spice islands of the east. Before long, from a huddle of huts, South Africa's oldest city came into being. In the early days, the settlement was known among sailors from around the world as "The Tavern of the Seas".A harmonious blend of architectural styles reflects the tastes of dictates of the past and today's more functional requirements. Between the high-rise office blocks, Edwardian and Victorian buildings have been meticulously preserved, and many outstanding examples of Cape Dutch architecture are found.
