Company's Garden
- 4.6 out of 5 on Google (206 reviews)
- Hours listed
Cape Town's oldest garden, begun to provision passing ships, now a shady city escape.
Why it’s worth it
The garden was laid out by the Dutch East India Company to grow produce for ships. Now it is a green spine running through the city centre, with tree-lined paths, squirrels that take food from hands and several museums around it. A breather between the museums and the cable car.
Highlights
- Tree-lined walkways
- Garden squirrels
- Rose garden and ponds
- Museums on the garden's edge
