The historic Cape Malay quarter on the lower slopes of Signal Hill, where brightly painted houses line steep cobbled streets above the city.
Walk up Wale, Chiappini and Rose Streets past the Auwal Mosque, South Africa's oldest, and the corner shops still selling spice mixes.
Local tip: These are lived-in family homes, so ask before photographing anyone or their doorstep and keep to the pavement.
