The Castle of Good Hope is a historic castle in the City Bowl of Cape Town. It is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa, built by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century. Visitors come to explore its stone walls, museums, and military history, and to see the daily key ceremony. As one of the city's top attractions, it draws travelers interested in Cape Town's past. The surrounding City Bowl is the real centre, with Long and Bree Street, Bo-Kaap, Company's Garden, and Table Mountain looming over every intersection. The area is an amphitheatre of flats and Victorian shopfronts wedged between Table Mountain, Devil's Peak, Signal Hill, and the harbour. It takes in the CBD grid, Bo-Kaap on the Signal Hill slope, and the residential shoulders of Gardens, Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht, and Vredehoek. It is the only part of Cape Town where you can genuinely live without a car for a week: the cableway, the museums, three markets, and about two hundred restaurants sit within a thirty-minute walk of each other, and the mountain is always there to tell you which way is south.
