Itinerary
Step back in time with a visit to the Castle of Good Hope, the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa. Located in the heart of Cape Town, this iconic 17th-century fortress offers visitors a powerful glimpse into the city’s rich military and cultural history. Built by the Dutch East India Company in 1666, the Castle of Good Hope is one of Cape Town’s top historical attractions. Explore its original bastions, historic dungeons, museums, and the famous Key Ceremony. With breathtaking views of Table Mountain in the background, it’s a must-visit stop on any Cape Town itinerary. At FCM Tours, we include the Castle of Good Hope in our guided Cape Town city tours, offering expert insights and a seamless travel experience.
Located in the city centre of Cape Town, the Grand Parade is one of the most historically significant public spaces in South Africa. Situated between the iconic Castle of Good Hope and Cape Town City Hall, this vibrant square has played a central role in the country’s political and cultural history. The Grand Parade is best known as the site where Nelson Mandela delivered his first public speech after his release from prison in 1990. Today, it remains a lively gathering place, hosting markets, events, and offering spectacular views of Table Mountain.
Gain insight into the forced removals during apartheid and the story of a once-thriving community.

About Cape Town
Cape Town spreads between Table Mountain and the sea, a striking city of beaches, vineyards, penguins and history near Africa's southwestern tip.
Table Mountain's flat summit looms over everything, reached by cableway or by hiking trails, with Lion's Head and Signal Hill flanking it. Below, the V&A Waterfront bustles around the working harbour, and boats leave from there for Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held for eighteen years. The colourful houses of Bo-Kaap climb the slopes above the city centre and the Company's Garden.
Top-ranked sights in Cape Town: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
