Watch an Artist at Work at Treasure Hill

If you don’t mind steps, Treasure Hill Artists’ Village is a culturally rich little wonderland set on the side of a hill, offering great views of the city at it’s peak.

With dozens of huts and rickety buildings located on the different levels of the hill, many of which are studios to the local and international artists who work and live here.

The maze-like steep paths and alleys are decorated with street art and installations, with a surprise seemingly around each and every corner.

There are a few cafes located in the artists village, although when we visited it was difficult to get a table. There are however one or two small shops selling drinks and snacks.
