Whether on your own or on a tour, Bo-Kaap is a must-visit neighborhood in Cape Town, South Africa. We did a quick drive-by on our way to the Cape of Good Hope and then joined a free walking tour the following day. So glad that we spent more time hearing about the mosques, the food and the colors of Bo-Kaap.
Fun fact: When the homes were originally built, they were all painted white. There's all kinds of tales about why they are so colorful today. My favorite, although apparently not true, is that slaves painted their homes in bright colors to celebrate their freedom.
