The travel experts at Lonely Planet have revealed their selection of the best destinations for 2017 that travellers simply cannot afford to miss … and South Africa’s stunning Cape Town features high up as number two on the Top 10 Cities list.
Lonely Planet describes Capetonians as being deceptively laid-back while working hard to “add cultural and culinary cred to the Mother City’s famous natural charms, cementing its reputation as an African city with a global outlook”.
The local gastronomy is described as being as impressive as the city’s famous Table Mountain; and the endless wine estates, hip markets and inventive restaurants are highly praised.
Lonely Planet predicts the art and design scene in Cape Town will be given a boost in September 2017 when the much-anticipated Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa is due to open, the largest of its kind.
Bordeaux in France won the coveted top spot (its “gastronomic revolution” being one of the reasons), with Los Angeles, United States of America, in third position.
