Good Hope Castle is a very historical place, and this is here at the Cape of Good Hope. If you are visiting the Cape of Good Hope, it should also be horse riding, and it is also a good scenery to enjoy the Cape of Good Hope from here.
If you look at the Fort Good Hope from the top, the angle is super good and very beautiful. The area of the Fort Good Hope is not large, but the building is very special, and the opposite of the Fort Good Hope is the endless Atlantic Ocean.
You can choose to go up, you can also choose to take the cable car, and then walk down, you will find that the scenery is really beautiful, but there are many people who walk down, and it is not easy to take pictures. There is also the smell of sea water in the air, which is very fresh and natural.
Fort Hope, here is the earliest city site in Cape Town. What attracts my attention most is the various wooden furniture of the past. Take advantage of the staff to relax a few photographs. It's shocking, but it's worth visiting, but it's early to close the door. If you want to go, please go early.
A very long castle has achieved a dynasty. The decoration inside is also very characteristic.
In downtown Cape Town, the buildings are very special. There will be English guides to explain the history of South Africa. Every noon, there will be some artillery ceremony. It's enough to travel for 1-2 hours. You can take it along when you visit Table Mountain and Water Front.
