The 7 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Cape Town Central, Western Cape
Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

The first black archbishop of Cape Town, Desmond Tutu, used this Anglican cathedral as a religious and political seat.
Reviewed By adalbert3 - Newport Beach, United States
Anglican Cathedral located at the end of the Company Gardens, it is certainly worth taking a few moments to walk through---they offer info for self-guided tours at the end of the main aisle. Former Archbishop Desmond Tutu was internationally known for leading an activist anti-apartheid movement from here--many recognize the Cathedral as a symbol of democracy. The stained glass windows are lovely and it is interesting to know that the Cathedral is still a work in progress. There is a jazz restaurant in the crypt named "The Crypt" that jazz enthusiasts recommended. Right across the street in St. George's Mall across from the Mandela Rhodes Foundation is a portion of the Berlin Wall. Check out my photos for more details.
