UK-based consumer advocacy group Which? has revealed the results of its latest survey ranking the world's best cities. This year, more than 1,500 travellers rated nearly 2,500 destinations based on food and drink, accommodation, cultural and tourist attractions, shopping, ease of getting around, and value for money. In response to overtourism concerns, Which? also introduced a ‘lack of crowds’ score to help travellers find less congested destinations.
According to the ranking, Cape Town has claimed the top spot as the best long-haul city break for UK travellers. The Mother City stands out with its vibrant culinary scene, budget-friendly prices, and rich cultural heritage, showcased in attractions like the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and the District Six Museum. But what truly makes Cape Town unforgettable is its breathtaking natural beauty—from the sweeping views atop Lion’s Head and the rugged cliffs of Table Mountain (hike up Platteklip Gorge and ride the Aerial Cableway down) to the pristine beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay.
For travellers looking for the perfect blend of urban adventure and natural beauty, Cape Town delivers. And as European winters set in, the city’s warm summer climate—without the hassle of jet lag—makes it an even more enticing escape!
Which?'s Top 10 best long-haul city breaks:
- Cape Town, South Africa
- Kyoto, Japan
- Sydney, Australia
- Chicago, USA
- Tokyo, Japan
- Singapore
- Bangkok, Thailand
- Melbourne, Australia
