Robben Island

This is a must, when considering things to do in Cape Town. Robben Island, Cape Town is where Nelson Mandela and numerous other political prisoners spent many years imprisoned by the old South African government. The Robben Island Museum Tours Department now conducts tours to Robben Island, Cape Town's World Heritage Site. The tour includes the boat ride to Robben Island, a tour of the Robben Island Museum and prison, and a bus trip around the remainder of Robben Island.
