We got us the best mayor, we’re looking to be one of the most sustainable cities on the planet by 2020, we are Africa's Best City (US Travel and Leisure 'Best in the World' Awards, July) and one of the world's five Bluest Sky Destinations (expedia.co.uk).
In fact, Cape Town is, quite simply, the Best World City – if the UK’s Daily Telegraph readers have anything to say on the matter.
That newspaper’s 2008 Travel Awards, as voted for by Joe and Jane Public, placed South Africa’s ever-popular Mother City above the likes of Sydney and San Francisco.
The rest of the country need not roll their eyes at yet another Cape Town accolade – South Africaalso secured third place in the Best Non-European Country category.
The popular daily broadsheet polled 40 000 readers in this 10th Travel Awards.
If you still haven’t visited the beautiful city of Cape Town what are you waiting for? The exchange rate is in most visitors’ favour, the weather is perfect just when the Northern Hemisphere’s is impossibly cold, the beaches are the best in the world.
