    Unusual place housing the bones of many unknown dead from different eras. You enter through the cage, which is more unusual still. I recommend a vidit here if you are in Cape Town. It is a unique opportunity to reflect on mortality

    Fascinating place. Well worth spending some time here, and learn about dark and uneasy days of our history. Thank you to all that had a hand in this project.

    Good food, a lovely place to write on the weekend.

    A remarkable place that maintains the memory of a disgusting event in South Africa's history- the removal of coloured people from the area. Locals should visit but tourists should maybe visit other places as they will get better value for time

    One of the few parks in the city. Art works, grass, toilets, drinking water.

    Lovely Chai latte. Terrible French toast croissant, it was so oily it was inedible, so I sent it back. Waiters were OK, the manager was pleasant and didn't charge me for the French toast. I'd go back for coffee, but not for food.

    A well kept memorial square, steeped in the rich history of Old Cape Town, its rail heritage, a place to chill, catch your breath, let the kids play while the soft breeze caress your cheeks.
