Cape Town has once again seen off the challenge of cities like New York (6th), Paris (4th) and Sydney (2nd) when it was crowned as Number 1 in TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Best Destinations.

TripAdvisor is one of the biggest travel websites with millions of visitors flocking to the site for reviews and other travel tips.

The site rates Table Mountain and it’s myriads of walks, as well as the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens as “Top-Rated Things to Do,” while it’s Review reads:

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent.

Amazing sites, from Robben Island, Nelson Mandela’s former prison, to tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, are within easy driving distance of “The Mother City”.

Sun worshippers, surfers and divers flock to nearby white sand beaches and azure waters under Table Mountain. The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters.

Well Done to the Mother City!

Have a look at Dean’s website to read some amazing facts about Cape Town and Table Mountain in particular.
