Sightseeing
Visiting this museum will give you essential history of Cape Town. You're advised that it will be rather sensitve for children, but hopefully you are raising your children to be aware of their need to be part and parcel of transformative justice, and responsible global citizens.

Traveler advice
Getting around
Using Uber and Taxify are the best way to get around
The reality is that public transport in Cape Town is rather disjointed. The city was essentially designed to favour having one's own vehicle. So if you don't have a hired car, feel comfortable to use Uber and Taxify.
Here are key benefits of using Uber and Taxify:
1. You're in a city you're not familiar with and the GPS record will be useful to keep track of you. There has been at least one high profile situation in Cape Town where this was useful.
2. If you misplace or leave someting in an Uber or Taxify, you can "easily" retrieve it.
3. They tend to be cheaper and friendlier.
