    You will visit the Castle of Good Hope for 1 hour 3 minutes. The Castle of Good Hope is a historic site in Cape Town, South Africa. It’s the oldest surviving colonial building in the country and was built by the Dutch East India Company between 1666 and 1679 to serve as a military stronghold and maritime supply station. It’s situated near the city’s waterfront and originally overlooked Table Bay, offering strategic defence for the Cape Colony.

    Robben Island Museum is one of South Africa's most significant and powerful historical sites, located about 6.9 kilometers (4.3 miles) off the coast of Cape Town in Table Bay. The island is known worldwide for its role as a prison during the apartheid era, particularly because it housed some of South Africa's most prominent political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, who spent 18 years of his 27-year imprisonment there. Robben Island has a long and complex history. It was originally used as a leper colony in the 17th and 18th centuries and later became a military post during both World Wars. But its most infamous role was as a maximum-security prison for political dissidents during apartheid. The prison, particularly Cell 5, where Mandela was held, has become an iconic symbol of the struggle for freedom and equality in South Africa.
