Prince Albert
South Africa
This tiny Karoo town at the foot of the Swartberg mountains in the Western Cape, Prince Albert has developed a café and restaurant scene that has drawn artists and wealthier South Africans — earning it comparisons to Franschhoek. The town sits on the southern edge of the Great Karoo, with the mountains close by and Oudtshoorn a manageable drive away.
