Cape Town Named Best City in the World – Twice in One Year
Cape Town is once again making global headlines – and for all the right reasons. Whether you’ve visited before or are dreaming of your first trip, there’s no denying it: Cape Town is the place to be.
Cape Town Tourism Announces Big News:
“Cape Town, Monday, 14 July 2025 — They came, they voted, we conquered.
Over 20,000 UK travellers cast their votes, placing Cape Town ahead of global favourites like Seville and Sydney. This marks the seventh time Cape Town has claimed the title, and the second time in 2025 alone.
Back in January, Time Out already declared Cape Town the Best City in the world. Coincidence? Hot streak? Let’s be honest – it’s just Cape Town being it’s brilliant self.
According to The Telegraph, it’s easy to see why Cape Town keeps topping the list.
“Few places can match South Africa’s most feted metropolis for photogenic power: the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront fringing the Atlantic, Table Mountain rearing as an epic backdrop, the land ebbing down to the beaches of Camps Bay and the flicked tail of the Cape of Good Hope.”
Briony Brookes, CMO of Cape Town Tourism, had this to say:
“Being named the world’s best city again isn’t just about bragging rights… okay, maybe just a little,” she laughs.
“More than anything, it’s a celebration of what makes this place unforgettable: the people, the energy, the views, and the stories that connect us with visitors from around the world. Cape Town continues to outshine global destinations year after year, and locals have every reason to be proud of how the city mixes bold creativity, stunning nature, and a culture that’s full of heart.”
Two global Best City titles in less than six months? Not too shabby. Cape Town is having more than a moment; it’s having a movement.
