Paddle Steamer on the Knysna Lagoon
Knysna’s natural beauty and cosmopolitan community inspire a unique creativity in artists – both local and international – making it the art capital of the region.

Various rambles and craft routes allow visitors to enjoy the local craftwork, its history and its people.

Zulu, English, Xhosa, Afrikaans and even Rastafarian are just a few of the languages you’ll hear on the streets and with them come an extraordinary mix of cultures – all with their own rich stories to tell.
