The Bo-Kaap is an exciting vibrant area located in Cape Town, South Africa. It is a former racially segregated area and comprises of pre-1850 architecture, cobblestoned streets, and voorsteps - making it the oldest surviving residential neighborhood in the city. Home to the largest concentration of Cape Malay culture, this multicultural neighborhood is also known for its brightly coloured homes and diverse population which includes Muslims, Indians, Coloureds, Filipinos, Africans, Portuguese, and Italians. In recent years, due to economic expansion, property in the Bo-Kaap has become highly sought after and a declaration of 19 sites as National Heritage means that the community can preserve its unique cultural and historical significance.

Note : there was a lot of homeless around, it didn't feel safe.
