The Company's Garden: An Urban Oasis

In the middle of the city lies the Company's Garden, the oldest garden in South Africa. It was originally planted to provide fresh produce for passing ships.

Why it's a 2025 Must-Do

Today, it's a peaceful retreat where you can feed the squirrels, visit the South African National Gallery, or just sit under an ancient oak tree.

Top Tip: Feed the squirrels and visit the National Gallery.
