Cape Town, also known as “The Mother City”, is a truly unique city in itself. If you live here, or you’ve visited, you’ve no doubt been intrigued by her pure and utterly breathtaking beauty.
She’s got the kind of grandeur that will have you packing your bags and relocating just to see it every day. There are many instances where there’s South Africans and foreigners coming to visit Cape Town and deciding on the spot that they are going to stay. Here’s why:
10. Natural Beauty: Capetonians are amazed daily by the mountains and the sea. We’re graced by the liberality in giving, that the earth has granted us. Try Topping that!
9. Robben Island: This is one of the most visited places in Cape Town. The First black president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela, was jailed on this Island for 28 years. Nelson Mandela is one the most recognized faces across the world. Topping the charts for popularity!!
8. Magnificent Stadiums: Not only are our sporting venues remarkable, they also have the best views. You probably wouldn’t find a better view than those from the new Cape Town Stadium and the Newlands Cricket and Rugby Grounds.
7. Seaside Sundowners: When you live in Cape Town it’s all about living the holiday, even if you have to work.
6. Gatsby’s: This crazy but totally unique Cape Town meal is enough to keep us full. Not sure what I’m talking about? Try imagining a baguette stuffed with every imaginable food group: chips, meat, fish, salads, sauce and more. Crazy, but really tasty!
5. Beach Parking: Capetonians are known to park off at the beach till late during our African summers. It’s still light, sunny and hot till 7pm.
4. The People: Capetonians are a breed like no other. Down here we’re chilled, friendly and fun. When we’re trying to be friendly and you being rude, I’ll advise you to apologize, as we Capetonians are not afraid to say what’s on our mind!!
3. Cuisines: Food is the way to a Capetonian’s heart. Because of the common mix of different people and cultures in the Cape, here are some spectacular foods.
2. Braai’s: Every city has their own unique trait that defines their identity. For Capetonians that icon is the “Braai”. You’ll struggle to find a local who does not love standing in front of an open fire, tongs in one hand, and a beer in the other watching the juicy “Braai vleis”
1. Table Mountain: This is a truly remarkable piece of nature and there is nothing else on this earth like it. You want to know the best part? Well because it’s in Cape Town of course. It’s the spirit of the city and we’d be lost without it.
