Colorful Houses in De Waterkant is one of the trendiest areas in Cape Town, with its stylish little pocket of historic buildings, fashionable shops, and vibey restaurants.

Built-in the 19th century, the architectural style is a mixture of Cape Dutch and Georgian, a result of the area’s diverse cultural heritage. This area is a street shopper’s delight, filled with coffee shops and interior design firms. Affectionately known as the “pink district” with its abundance of gay- and straight-friendly bars and restaurants, De Waterkant is internationally renowned for its open-minded attitude. #postcard #traveltips #capetown
