Grahamstown

The best time to visit Grahamstown is during the shoulder seasons (March-May and September-November) when the weather is pleasant, and the crowds are smaller. The National Arts Festival, held in June/July, is a major draw, but accommodation prices and availability can be affected.

Must-see attractions include the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. George, the 1820 Settlers National Monument, the Observatory Museum, and the various art galleries and historical buildings around the city. Don't miss the chance to explore the Rhodes University campus and experience the vibrant atmosphere.

Grahamstown is a walkable city, especially the central area. Taxis and ride-sharing services are available, but public transportation is limited. If you plan to explore the surrounding areas, renting a car is recommended.
