Cape Town to feature new heritage map

MyCiti has launched an informative map in light of Heritage Day, which guides visitors to Cape Town’s historic sites.

The City of Cape Town’s Transport and Urban Development Authority has produced a fold-out heritage map with information about 20 sites of interest that are easily accessible via the MyCiti bus routes for commuters and tourists.

Many are clustered within the city centre and surrounds, with others along scenic routes to Hout Bay and the West Coast.

MyCiti heritage maps will give commuters the chance to explore SA’s heritage using public transport. The map includes two of Cape Town’s heritage spots: Bo-Kaap and Company’s Garden. It also features the Slave Lodge, District Six, the Robben Island Museum, and various other memorials, places of worship and sites of interest.

Travellers can access the MyCiti heritage map free of charge at all MyCiti stations and participating retailers, or download it.

Residents and tourists can get a myconnect card and load a day pass for R94 (€6). This will allow for unlimited travel on all MyCiti routes at any time, or they can load R39 (€2.5) OPT1 package, allowing unlimited travel outside the weekday morning and afternoon peaks.
