Overview
#Stellenbosch walking tour The best way to explore Stellenbosch is on foot as most of the architectural beauties are within easy walking distance of each other. You can do this using a tourist guide or a useful brochure-map titled “On foot through historic Stellenbosch”, available from the very professional and helpful Stellenbosch Tourism Information Office.
Some of the attractions in Stellenbosch are the VOC Kruithuis (gun powder magazine), the Rhenish Church, the highly recommended Village Museum (consisting of Schreuder House - 1709, Bletterman House - 1789, Grosvenor House - 1803 and OM Bergh House), Oom Samie se Winkel - "Uncle Samie's Shop" - featuring a typical old-world trading store), Krige’s Cottages and Libertas Parva - a gallery with contemporary South African art as well as a modest wine museum.
