It is the city’s “numerous nature reserves, miles of dramatic coastline, and an efficient public transport system, ” that earned Cape Town its spot on the list.
The website offers the following must-do activities when visiting: “Take the cable car up and, if you’re feeling brave, abseil down Table Mountain before heading to peaceful Oudekraal Beach, still inside Table Mountain National Park. For a beautiful beach with a difference, explore the aptly named Boulders Beach, which is home to 2 000 endangered African Penguins. Groot Constantia, the oldest wine-producing estate in South Africa, about 20 minutes outside of Cape Town, provides the perfect setting to toast your trip.”
