Attractions & Activities

Prince Albert is a unique Karoo village, nestling at the foot of the Swartberg range with wide plains stretching to the north-east. 

Tourism and farming drive the village economy. There is a supermarket, several butchers and Gay's dairy. Restaurants serve Karoo cuisine at reasonable prices and there are several coffee shops for light lunches and teas. There is a wide range of things to do: strolling round our galleries, museum and shops, guided walks, star-gazing,  story-telling, or simply lazing the days away. 

Village festivals include: the Town and Olive Festival in May and the Oktoberfest and Agricultural Show in October.  Concerts, soirées and bazaars take place from time to time.

There are scenic drives across the mountains - the entrance to the Swartberg Pass is just a few kilometres away. A drive to Oudtshoorn takes just over an hour and a quiet road takes one to the Karoo National Park in 1½ hours.
