Art and Architecture: 26 Cities Every Creative Soul Must Visit

19. Cape Town – Where Nature and Design Collide

Set against the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain, Cape Town is a city where natural beauty and artistic expression intertwine. The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), housed in a repurposed grain silo, is a modern architectural marvel showcasing groundbreaking African artists. Street art flourishes in Woodstock, where massive murals reflect South Africa’s complex history and vibrant culture. The Bo-Kaap district, with its candy-colored houses and Cape Dutch architecture, is a photographer’s dream. Even Cape Town’s landscapes are artistic—Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and Chapman’s Peak Drive offer a painter’s palette of colors at every turn.
