JEWISH CULTURAL
& TABLE MOUNTAIN (Private
Full-Day Tour)
Depart the city for the Lower Cableway Station to board the revolving
cable car for a 5-minute ride to the top of Table Mountain.
One thousand thirty six meters above sea level, it affords bird’s-eye views of both
city and Peninsula as you walk its summit (weather permitting).
Return to the city via the old Cape Malay Quarter for a walk through the Company
Gardens, a fresh produce garden for visiting ships from the mid 17th Century
and home to the Cultural History Museum, Houses of Parliament, National Gallery,
SA Museum and Cape Town’s Jewish Campus.
The South African Jewish Museum, opened by Nelson Mandela in 2000, is
situated on the heritage site of the Gardens Synagogue, built in 1863, and houses
the Cape Town Holocaust Centre and Gitlin Library.
Lunch at the trendy Kosher Café Riteve and browse the delightful
Museum shop, before exploring this highly acclaimed, high-tech museum, whose
interactive, audio/visual exhibits narrate the story of SA Jewry from its early
beginnings.
The Cape Town Holocaust Centre, the first in Africa, explores racial and religious
intolerance, ideological conflict and persecution, echoing the human rights abuses
of Apartheid. We also visit the Great Synagogue, which was consecrated in 1905.
