Riversdale
A Western Cape town on the N2 between Cape Town and George, Riversdale sits beneath the Langeberg Mountains and serves as a hub for surrounding farming communities and coastal resorts. It holds the country's only Ukrainian Museum of Culture and the second-largest collection of Thomas Bowler paintings in South Africa. Garcia's Mountain Pass connects the town to the Klein Karoo, and the Old Jail, dating to the 1800s, is among its most visited sites. Wineries, fishing at Korentepoort Dam, and an annual agricultural show in February round out the offer.
