Stellenbosch, South Africa
Founded in 1679, Stellenbosch is the second-oldest European settlement in South Africa and the heart of the Cape Winelands. The town center is a remarkably well-preserved collection of Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian architecture, shaded by centuries-old oak trees. Dorp Street is considered one of the best-preserved historical streetscapes in the country. The University of Stellenbosch gives the town a youthful energy, with cafes, bookshops, and galleries lining the pedestrian-friendly streets. Beyond the town center, walking between wine estates is a delight — many are within a few kilometers of each other, set against the dramatic backdrop of the Jonkershoek and Simonsberg mountains.
