Situated just two kilometers from the foot of the Swartberg Pass, Prince Albert is the perfect base for exploring the wonders of the Swartberg including Gamkaskloof (The Hell) and Meiringspoort.
Major attractions include hiking, mountain biking, birding and botanical excursions. The climate is superb with a high sunshine index and spectacular night skies.
What makes Prince Albert such a gem though is its beautifully preserved Cape Dutch, Karoo and Victorian buildings, many of which are national monuments, if fact it has more national monuments that any other town in South Africa.
Prince Albert is also known for its sun-ripened fresh and dried fruit, especially apricots and figs. Karoo lamb, olives, olive oil and homemade cheeses are local delicacies.
