Cape Town Facts & Tips

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa

Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa. It was first mentioned by the famous explorer Bartolomeu Dias in the late 15th century. After Jan van Riebeeck and his crew for the Dutch East India Company established the first European settlement in South Africa, the town became an important European outpost and trading post for the Dutch East India Company. Although the area was inhabited for thousands of years prior to the arrival of the Europeans, there is no recorded history of local activities of the Khoi and their predecessors.
