A good reason to go

Walk beneath mature trees and past water features in a garden first planted in 1652 to supply ships of the Dutch East India Company. The public grounds sit beside Parliament, the Iziko museums, the National Library and St George's Cathedral, making an easy cultural-centre pause.
