An absolute 💎. A must visit. The stunning smells of Currys and spices is so stunning. Guys playing chess and kids laughing. Tourist in my own town.

One if the most photographed places in Cape Town. Tells you how diverse the city is..

This area is a MUST SEE in Capetown! It is absolutely beautiful, the perfect photo opportunity.

The tour at bo-kaap was quick. It is a residential area for muslim communities. Such a vibrant and colorful neighborhood.

Simply loved the colourful houses! A must on a Cape Town trip itinerary.. makes for beautiful photos.

Okay that was lovely and sure Ill be back

Very basic museum, it feels more like a community centre that happens to have a small exhibit. I would recommend instead doing a tour with a local if you can, youll get a lot more from it

BokaapThis is basically a street, which is full of colorful houses. This is one of the most photographed place in Capetown. Many movies were even shot in the street. A walk through the street is very nice & beautiful.a few restaurants/ café are there by the street.Click some pictures & move out of the street.

The colorful houses are beautiful and there is a rich history but please remember these are actual peoples houses and we got the feeling they didnt like the privacy invasion.

A burst of colours and the smell of cinnamon and curry! Amazing experience that you should not miss!

Beautiful place. Colorful houses around.

It generally takes 1 hour to go around museum and entry fee is also very less. And beautiful and colorful street to visit.

Best place to visit in Cape Town. Malay quarter with a coloured houses is one of the best attractions in Cape Town. Don’t miss your chance to make a bright picture in your portfolio.

WOW!!! WOW!! WOW!! BREATHTAKING... EXHILARATING!!! MUST SEE BEAUTIFUL COLOURFUL ATMOSPHERE!!!

Loved it. Had fantastic samosas at Fazeedah!

Better go there with a guide

Cape Town has a lot of historic attractions. Its a place where you will see colorful homes, quite streets may be sometimes busy. Usually occupied by tourists. Few hand crafted item shops are also there but those are expensive.

Indeed one of the most original and unique features of Cape Town. If the weather allows you, go! It is still uncertain the meaning of why those houses are all differently coloured. Some say that it was associated to the household profession, others say that it is a way to number houses (it’ll be easier to just put a number, but not as original as colouring them). Despite the weather today, I got to take these beautiful shots. Do not miss this!!

Beautiful part of Cape town filled with culture and history every South African must visit.

Pity , I couldn`t visit it during my lay over in October 2020 due to corona restrictions, so I got only 2 pics from above .

Nice place to take pictures

Loved the beauty and tradition. It has unfortunately become a bit too busy because of tourism. This leads to you struggling to truly appreciating the scenery.

Beautiful Colours and houses. Residents of this area are polite and kind.

Its a special place, but the atmosphere is not very good

A colorful and invigorating, yet quiet street. The entire street, as well as an adjoining one have buildings painted in vibrant colors. You can call it Rainbow on the Street. I couldnt go to the museum because it had closed. I felt a bit sorry for the residents though, considering they always come out to meet tourists just wandering about the taking pictures of their homes

Colorful experience 10/10

Customer and culturally rich Bo-Kaap is a must see neighborhood of Cape Town. This neighborhood sheds light on the building blocks of Cape Town and early stages of development that Cape Town went through. The colorful houses hold meaning to locals and its interesting to learn why they are build such ways. Multiple different locations within this neighborhood are landmark historical locations.

Bright beautiful colours, just amazing! ❤️

The history the place contains its out of this world..

Its colorful. If you go by yourself its just looking at 2 block of colorful houses, visting the museum and the spice store. Otherwise, if you take a tour you may get more detail information. But its merely 2 blocks of colorful houses.

Bo-kaap is beautiful and so colourful.The ancient houses and the way they are arranged orderly is just so awesome.A nice spot to visit. You have to be a bit careful with traffic that passes through and in some ways, the cars on the street take away a bit from general ambiance. Worth a quick stop.There are so many arts, crafts and designs to look at and enjoy the beauty of creativity.It is a good idea to look at the whole street and just appreciate the diversity of colors and ingenuity.Add this location to your bucket list when you are visiting Cape Town, South Africa.

The IZIKO BO-KAAP neighborhood is a super cool and trendy neighborhood. All of the houses are painted very bright and vibrant colors and the locals in the neighborhood and very nice and welcoming for everyone to take photos and videos. I recommend checking out IZIKO BO-KAAP, it was a very fun experience and we spent more time than we expected here.

The most photographed neighborhood in Africa and one of the most visits places in the world, I had mad chills listening to our tour guide about the beautiful and colorful neighborhood. The rich history and how it has remained unique over the years. A must visit place. The museum is rich and If you’re adventurous you can try their food.

Love the Bo-Kaaps vibe and vibrant colors! Do visit the Atlas spice shop, and get a samoosa and koesister from the street vendor on the corner 😉

A nice spot to visit. You have to be a bit careful with traffic that passes through and in some ways, the cars on the street take away a bit from general ambiance. Worth a quick stop.

Was expecting a bit more. But the small multi coloured houses are really quaint. A historical land mark in cape town. Situated in the central heart of cape town. Its a buzz of entertainment as the locals go about there day to day lives and listening to them talking in there own funny lingo. They sure love the F word.

Place of national heritage of South Africa. A lot to learn from here.

The museum is a donated entry to the history of Bokaap where all the colourful houses are. We still didn’t learn why they were colourful and the guys manning the museum weren’t sure either but still an interesting setup.

The colours of the buildings were mind blowing.The history, interesting.It was sad to hear that some buildings were at risk of gentrification, but over all it was an experience of a life time. Would definitely love to visit again to take super lit photos😆👍🏽

Must see when in Cape town. Wouls recommend this. I think a great suggestion would be to have more of the colourfull houses and to make this area be more well know. Loved the place

Its one of the simplest yet artistic places. People there are so kind, helpful, welcoming and always smiling in your face. They always day Al Salam Alikom - May peace be with you. I loved the place, people, colors, Mandela statute and the art in this place. They also use recycled materials in their art! You can take photos and make photo sessions there too.

I like Bo-kaap! The artistry of the homes was really cool. The backdrop of the mountains enhanced the beauty just that much more.Bo-Kaap reminds me, a little bit, of San Francisco here in the US. They had some really cute shops in this location too. I bought some nice spices from one of the African markets.Check this place out- really cute!

Ko-kaap is beautiful and so colourful.The ancient houses and the way they are arranged orderly is just so awesome.It is a quiet and street, but receives loads of tourists all year round.There are so many arts, crafts and designs to look at and enjoy the beauty of creativity.It is a good idea to look at the whole street and just appreciate the diversity of colors and ingenuity.Add this location to your bucket list when you are visiting Cape Town, South Africa.

Great to see the history of the colorful suburb of the Bokaap and the people. Closes at 14h30 during Covid 19. Photo of the adjacent street not the museum.

The Bo-Kaap museum is an awesome place! It’s perfect to better understand the Bo-Kaap district and I truly believe that everyone coming to see the district should as well visit the museum.Yes, I can agree that one could modernize it but it so well captures the local developments over time. A fantastic place to gain a deeper understanding.A place to go beyond the Instagram craze.

Totally unique! Stunning houses and well looked after.

Havent been to the museum but loved the place. Beautiful home who need to be protected. And please be nice and stop SEATING on others properties and putting YOUR FEET on their WALL. this is not your Instagram wall

Loved the place and its heritage, the people there are very friendly and caring, they have local food thats very good

Very nice. Worth going into this scenic location

Great and well placed displays. Friendly reception as well as very neat and clean.Impress with the Covid 19 compliance attitudes

A good stop over. Took us a few minutes to engage and enjoy before moving on to the next to attraction.

The staff is very friendly, its a beautiful place to learn about the history of Cape Town.

The colourful houses with the mountain as a backdrop make this one of the most beautiful places to take a selfie in Cape Town.Make sure you take a guided tour or research the origins of the area before you visit to appreciate the history there is more to this suburb than Instagrammable pics

Very colourful place, houses are really attractive the way it is done, places is declared to be protected, museums, An art galerie also there propose by the artist himself if different paintings.But he careful of thieves, be on the alert at all time.... We were so uncomfortable the way the locals were looking at us and later on after our visit, we have been told that someone has been a victim....

The people around are friendly and awesome to be around and its a beautiful place you should go visit it 😃😃

Beautifully scenic area! The house shine bright in all different colors, making it a wonderful photo spot. I can also recommend a free walking tour to learn a bit more about the history.

The art there is amazing the staff is great... If you have a student card its free

Great, great history.I love the colours and the beaty of those houses but i love the history behind more ❤️

Very unique and beautiful

Museum was closed. But the neighborhood was amazing with all the vivid color houses

What a wonderful mood lifter! The colours will make you feel happy. The residents are kind. A really photogenic area.

I didnt go the the museum, I just walk around admiring sceneries at Bo Kaap aka Malay Quarters

This is a great area to go by because of the beautiful and colorful houses. However, I thought there would’ve been more to share about the culture and community even as you’re walking around. I wonder if there is a Bo-Kaap festival that occurs that could have given me a bit more of the history. If not, I think it could be something to consider.I also came across an building that was spay painted with the words “No to gentrification”. It made me wonder even more about what’s happening in that community.

Loved the experience.....its absolutely beautiful to see the heritage in Cape town

Beautiful ,colourful place with a great community. I absolutely enjoyed my tour here

One of the historical places to visit in Cape Town, colour full houses and their mosques are worth taking a look

A must see in Cape Town, had a very memorable morning here and it is one of the most picturesque places in Cape Town

Great place to visit in Cape Town, muslim community, you will also see historical mousqe

The photos create an expectation that does not live up to reality. Not very clean and does not feel very safe. I saw several apparently homeless people and at least three groups of kids running around, begging, smoking and creating all round negative image of the area. I would not feel comfortable walking around the area with an expensive camera.

Next time Ill visit the museum, I was glad though that I had the opportunity to photograph these well known landmarks in Cape Town. I also learned that the houses was painted in these bright colours when the slaves were released as they were forced to wear pale colours while inthe service of the masters. While walking along the houses a lovely curry aroma filled the air and it engraved my Bo-Kaap memory in my mind and heart forever.

Quite an interesting little museum. It casts a light on one aspect of the history of the area, and if one is willing to learn and absorb, then this is a worthy stop.

Didnt do the museum .. but was cool to walk the area. Very busy.There is a cafe with a rooftop... make sure u pop up.Shame the cafe doesnt run a small cafe from up there during the day

Nice vibes and very safe that side..

Small museum but Iconic colorful buildings in the area are great for photo! Only 15 min walk from city centre but bit of a walk uphill if wanna reach the top.

Informative tour. Great to see the history of the area and the residence. Not all questions were answered but the history of when the colorful houses started was explained afterwards

Beautiful place to visit with table mountain in the back ground .

Absolutely enjoyed touring Bo kaap houses. Instagramable pictures for people who like to take pictures like me.

Great Please

An important and colourful attraction in Cape Town. Stop to chat with the friendly locals to learn why this is such an important area!

Sad memories but lovely place... We South Africans we must appreciate RSA. Its a damn awesome place.

A must visit.

Bo-Kaap is the most beautiful neighborhood to visit in the Cape town CBD, the area is painted in the most amazing colours. The occupants are full of life, I would definitely recommend a walking tour. The museum is also a treasure with collections of old memories.

One of my favourite places to visit when in Cape Town. Pictures tell the story.

A tourist destination alive with arts and culture. Museum and well as History here.

Nice place if you like history

The museum is tiny but, it does feature lovely historical photos. And the staff are friendly as well.

Rich heritage. Very little parking.

Sad that this heritage is slowly coming to an end.

Colourful area, an Instagramable protected neighborhood of #capetown

A place must visit in Capetown, beautifull place with coloured house

It was a good experience but the museum was a bit small and a guide or a tall would have been nice even for an additional payment.

Theres nothing much to see here,but for pictures its a beautiful place if you want colorful memories in the mothercity

The street is so colorful. The art galleries, the authenticity.

Historical museum in cape town where people are friendly and knowledgeable, this little Muslim community started from a group of Malaysian slaves that memorized the holy bible and practised it under the noses of their masters and re wrote the holy bible.

The people of Bo-Kaap are friend and welcoming. Amazing culture and tradition that can be felt and seen as you drive or walk through the community. Love this place.

Not a worth visit to be really honest - an old house which has been decorated with some wall photographs. Entry is 20 ZAR and this can definitely be given a miss.

A small museum but the price is not really high and the stuff they have is informative and interesting, so its definitely nice to check it out!

So much history and untold stories the world deserves to know

Bo Kaap (translated into English as Above the Cape)the colours, the flavors, the heritage, the mixture of languages and diverse cultures and customs.One cannot help but get a lil emotional when walking through these streets.When Covid 19 is a thing of the past, try doing the Slave Route Race, you run up Koesister hill and the community members cheer you on from their door stoeps.

Enjoy the wonderful Cape Malay culture in Bo-Kaap. Absolutely stunning view of Table Mountain. A place that offers you a look into history, culture, beauty and of course, samoosas and koeksusters! A must see when in Cape Town
