It is small yet full of life. It is very safe, it has a perfect landscape and the people are very friendly. There are a lot of job opportunities and it is also an ideal place to start your own business. My city has a very diverse and unique culture.

It is a small town that is full of students. There is a lot of historical buildings that one can visit. There are beautiful mountains surrounding the area. The weather in summer is spectacular but winter is dreadful. The best part of the town is that wine is produced and sold almost anywhere in it!

Stellenbosch is a charming little town. It’s an artists’ haven with, amongst others, Dylan Lewis’ sculpture garden to meander through. There are also many beautiful trails to hike or run. It is also a foodies’ dream with plenty of top notch restaurants and wonderful wineries and indoor and outdoor markets.

Before moving to Stellenbosch it is important to know that this is a student town. The Stellenbosch university campus is well integrated with the town and it is difficult to separate the two from each other. Do not be surprised when seeing student walking all around the city at any time of day.

To keep a pepper spray handy but to also be open to exploring the beautiful grapevine of Stellenbosch and all the beauty it can offer to people who enjoy wine tasting and charity work. There are many areas of leisure that people can access and transportation is relatively cheap and easy to access.

Stellenbosch is well-known for its wine lands and mountainous landscapes. Any person visiting Stellenbosch should bring along their hiking boots to explore the mountains and all the beauty it has to offer. Wine enthusiasts would love to know Stellenbosch has 49 wine farms, with world-class restaurants on their premises. For those not interested in hiking, wine, or food – Stellenbosch offers multiple game farms to look at wildlife and lots of boutique shops for souvenir shopping.

Stellenbosch is a very condensed town. As a visitor, you need to take more than a day to explore the various small shops that give you options from clothing lines, to paintings and artworks through to pottery. After having finished the sightseeing your in the town self, you should expand your to into the wine farms surrounding central Stellenbosch.
