The South African National Gallery sits in the City Bowl, the amphitheatre of flats and Victorian shopfronts wedged between Table Mountain, Devil's Peak, Signal Hill and the harbour. It is the country's flagship art museum, and visitors come for its holdings of South African, African and European art in a building that forms part of the museum cluster around the Company's Garden. The setting does much of the work: Long and Bree Street, Bo-Kaap and the Garden are all within the same compact grid, and Table Mountain looms over every intersection. The City Bowl 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. For a gallery visit, staying in the City Bowl means the collection is a short walk from your door, with the mountain always there to tell you which way is south. Expect a real city centre: car-guard interactions everywhere, and summer heat that makes the uphill streets of Vredehoek and upper Oranjezicht punishing.
