Forget Las Vegas, here are 5 reasons why Cape Town has been voted the best city in the world multiple times

From the Cape Winelands to the Cape of Good Hope, adorning the Mystic Cliffs on a haven peninsula, beneath the imposing Table Mountains, Cape Town, a port city on South Africa’s Southwest coast is not your ordinary getaway destination.

It’s an abode, a harbinger of peace which should be top on your bucket list of places to visit. Noted for its exquisite touristic attractions and multicultural population, its flourishing arts, dining, and nightlife scenes are proof of a modern metropolis’ creativity and innovative spirit that can only be offered by the rainbow nation.

Designated multiple times for its glamorous lifestyle topping most European and North American cities, Cape Town is truly world class with recognitions such as; # 1 city in Africa for business and tourism (International Congress and Convention Association – 2018 marks the fourth consecutive win), best art and cultural destination (AFAR Travelers’ Choice Awards 2017), #1 city in Africa and Middle East (Telegraph Travel Awards 2018-four years in a row), and the most affordable long-haul destination in the world (Annual UK Post Office Report 2018) among others.

In case you are still not convinced, here are five reasons why Cape Town has been named the best city in the world multiple times.
