Treat your partner to a trip to Robben Island Museum.
Robben Island Museum is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most visited tourist attractions in Cape Town. It’s also home to one of the most notorious prisons in South Africa. The Robben Island Museum offers guided bus tours around the island, allowing you to see where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years as well as many other famous prisoners like Steve Biko and Robert Sobukwe. If your partner is interested in learning more about South African history or even just wants something cool from Robben Island Museum’s memorabilia shop, then this can be an excellent option for a date!
