Prince Albert is situated at the foot of the Swartberg Mountain range in the Great Karoo region of the Western Cape. It has a perennial water supply which belies the reputation of this arid region. The Swartberg Mountain range is a World Heritage Site and part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, boasting the greatest number of plant species, particularly fynbos, in the world.
The Swartbergpass, the Hell, Meiringspoort and Bushmen's valley provide beautiful scenery for photography enthusiasts. Prince Albert is also close to George and Cape Town, yet offers the peace and quiet of the Karoo and it is no surprise that it has become a trendy country respite for weekenders and retirees.
Prince Albert has many successful businesses and all the necessities like doctors, a hospital, chemist, food stores, attorneys, old age home, post office, banks, schools, garages and restaurants. The climate is moderate throughout the year with warm sunny days. Frost sometimes appears during winter and regular snowfalls can be seen on the mountains.
There are 12 buildings in Prince Albert that have been declared national museums. Among these are the Dutch Reformed Church and its hall, Albert's Mill and the Swartberg Hotel. The town is well known for the preserved Cape Dutch Karoo and Victorian buildings.
There are also plenty of events during the year such as the Agri Expo Show and the Olive festival which attracts scores of people. Here, you can drink from real mountain springs, gaze at stars that appear close enough to touch or just put your feet up and relax.
