From thriving art and culture scenes to beautiful nature and kid-friendly fun, Cape Town is one of those cities that have a little bit of something for everyone. Art lovers won’t be disappointed by this South African city, and here are three places that you should check out if you happen to be one of them.

Iziko South African National Gallery

Iziko is often hailed as Cape Town’s most important international gallery, and its collection is pretty versatile. It allows you to explore African art, but it also features European art pieces, that date back from the 17th to the 19th century.

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art

The world’s largest museum of contemporary African art is also located in Cape Town. It opened its doors in 2017, on the grounds of the historic grain silo near the V&A Waterfront, and its exterior design is just as impressive as the art pieces on its walls.

Goodman Gallery

If you enjoy exploring art galleries, you’ll never run out of places to visit in Cape Town, and Goodman Gallery is one of the very best. It showcases art by established and emerging artists in southern Africa, and it also has branches in Johannesburg and London.
