Stellenbosch, situated in the Jonkerhock River Valley, is the second-oldest city of South Africa. It was founded in 1679 from Simon van der Stel as a border town.

In the center, especially in Dorp Street, you'll enjoy about sixty buildings in the Cape-Dutch-, but also in the Victorian-style style. Also the Dorpmuseum, a complex of buildings with houses from different eras, is worth a visit.  
Stellenbosch is a livily city with intense student and night life.
The university is one of the best in the country and teaches students from whole South Africa and the whole world. About 17 000 students populate the many restaurants, cafés, bars and discos.
