Cape Town, you have done it again.
The TripAdvisor 25 Best Destinations in the World list was published this morning and, as you probably would have guessed, the Mother City cracked the nod. Again.
Although we did technically finish in the top 25 last year too, this year is different because now we’re sitting pretty in 10th place. A sizeable jump from 19th in 2014!
Siem Riep is a Cambodian city that, to be honest, I had never heard of until about half an hour ago, yet it finished in second place.
In front of them at first place is Marrakech, Morocco and falling in third place is Istanbul, Turkey.
So who did we pip? Feast your eyes. Cape Town finished ahead of the likes of New York, Barcelona, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Sydney and Dubai.
Let’s continue putting Cape Town on the international map and make the top five in 2016.
View the list here. Well done!
Is anyone surprised? Hahahaha well done Cape Town
Well done Cape Town and well done to the #DA The ANC must come and get some tips on how to run a Town!
Oh yes. I wonder of TripAdvisor made a little detour to the Cape Flats? Where hundreds of men are slaughtered every year.. I think they would definitely reconsider. And yes thanks to the DA, NOTHING IS BEING DONE.

Well done Cape Town!
Cape Towns No 1
CityofCT the fact that you can go to any part of Cape Town and have totally different experiences #LoveCapeTown
Well they need some kind of Marketing trick to keep people visiting after the circus that was teleivsed not so long ago, Stunning scenery, shame about the rest!
Well done..Cape Town.
CityofCT Table Mountain. I look at it and think, “people pay good money to come and see this.” 🙂
NWaterford Thanks for the great tweet. It’s featured here: http://rbl.ms/1OuEgp9
Why restrict them to city centers? They can motivate for more Saps but do they. instead 24-7 police will be deployed to an already very safe Cbd. disgusting and racist on so many levels.
Well done Cape Town

Onse Kaap.
Ronel lyk my ons Moet volgende ‘n draai maak in Cambodia en Vietnam U0001f60e
Not surprised having returned four days ago from our sixth trip!!!
I can’t think of a better place to live than Cape Town.
Onse mooie Kaap!!
look deeper than what you see…..
Denver Lopez we never get to see the slums of any city! Don’t be so negative
#Proudly #Capetonian #Proudly #SouthAfrican
Well deserved!
DA does it again, efficiently run City
Exactly, Cape Town Central as opposed to what? Pretentious.
100%…
Oh we know this everyday of our lives. A small light of paradise
Proud to live in Cape I ♥ Cape Town
Well done capetown we do have a beautiful city xx
Nogal with half built flyovers and all. Not to seem/sound negative, but who benefits from this award ? Only the tourist industry or is the offspin/profits of this award to be shared with all people in Cape Town
Hurrah!
But ofcourse. The city is run by the DA 🙂
I think they forgot to take the crime with the N2, R300 etc into consideration
I find you charming, too
CityofCT Confidence in the Mayor! I lived in Clifton and although claustrophobic, simply stunning along the Atlantic Seaboard. Eating out!
And yet SAA doesn’t fly long-haul out of Cape Town!
Anita Hearn did you congratulate Mitchells Plain and Nyanga for being th crime capitals of the country? They are part of Cape Town.
“Cape Town” is the official murder and crime capital of South Africa. Why this accolade means nothing to me, worries me actually.
This accolade most probably means nothing to 90% of Capetonians lol. A small % of residents are part of this success story.
Oh yes Emile, but not a town … a world class, beautiful city! 🙂
Proudly S African
You don’t always need to gain “profit” from everything.
They’d be daft not to have done so!
Congratulations it is the most beautiful city in the world.
Yes Avangelique , but with all the fuss about the award you would think that all of CapeTown would “profit” not just one sector namely tourism
Agree
Fantastic!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay ! U0001f600U0001f600U0001f600
Even with an unfinished highway
Steph Rodrigues but Marrakech first place don’t get it ??

Martin, when last have you seen the rest of SA. Been allover. I notice where an effort is made.
Highest crime rate in the world 45 percent of the population unemployed living on the bread line only ten percent have the Internet not much free enterprise in terms of services to the public all state owned can white people walk around Johannesburg no equality is worse then ever black affirmitive action is just an excuse for the black to do nothing renaming and firing and hiring does create jobs .
Mmmm Denver, School of kakpraat?
…that’s the way it’s! Awesome cape town!
Not surprised, will always be a great city.
Well done Cape Town!!! Proud to be a Cape Tonian
No it can’t be. Get National Intelligence on it. It’s DA governed. We can not allow it. Let’s break down Cape Town cause it can’t be seen as a success! Let’s destroy and burn it and make it ungovernable. Tony Ehrenreicht Mr Chip on the Shoulder
Put on your dancing shoes CAPE.TOWN WELCOME U!!!!!!!
I am proud Capetonian. And happy. To those that moan and complain. Get a life and move on. Stop living in the past. Get over it. Make it even better for everyone.
Cusco is no 16 Carmen Murray 🙂 🙂
Hilton Thomas, this will mean more awareness, leading to more visitors, bringing income, providing jobs, which in turn has trickle effect across many many areas. So yes Hilton, this is how economies grow. This is good for our city and whole of SA.
what we need to do is encourage gangsters to move there operations to white areas.
Asanda Manakaza it is only the black people of this country like you that keep on sticking to be a rasist. Nobody in this post said any thing about being a rasist. You are the first one to mention it and therefore making you the rasist here not anybody else! Wake up and smell the coffee. Rasisim was ended probely even before you where born so you were not even around during that time. Rather focus on your studies and get a degree behind your name and start to contrubute to the country that you blacks keep on breaking down!
Denver Why is it that you blacks just can’t leave apartheid out of this? For once in your life have a look at what have been done in the Cape Town area and compare it to the rest of South Africa. You can Clearly see where the DA is the ruling party and where the ANC is the ruling party. That alone speaks for it self and does not matter what you are trying to say here, it is not going to change the facts! The facts is what matters and not empty promises!
Emile, maybe taking of your a white male privilege glasses for a while would actually benefit you..

Just love this place
Whoo hoo! I love cape town
Well done DA……would be the same if it was the lose party….
I hope you will have that impression too Mechthild Foldenauer
Yes, we will have, I am sure U0001f604
No surprise because the freaking ANC is nowhere to be found. If the ANC governed the WC, Cape Town would have gone the same way Johannesburg did: a sewerage hole!
their = possessive
there = directional
Move to Jo’burg You will fit right in that hole!
For a lark, I went and did a lap of the course – 3 minutes of video / 7 minutes at legal speeds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0GGiAuXW-U
You have to visit The Potting Shed guest house when arriving in Hermanus, superb 5 star service and wow to the lovely food!! We have recently visited The Potting Shed and OMW would go back there now if i could, awesome awesome!!!
My version of Cape Town: THE FAIREST CAPE!! love CAPE TOWN & hoping to move there one day!!
