Cape Town included in world's 25 most-fun cities list


Cape Town - In case you didn't already know it, Cape Town has been lauded for its ultimate fun factor as a city.

The survey commissioned by GetYourGuide and GoEuro has found that Cape Town is ranked 24th out of a whopping 1 800 cities for being an ‘Ultimate Fun City’. 

The world's top three cities on the list are Berlin in first place, London in second and Paris in third.

The survey which looks at 11 different factors for its ranking saw Cape Town scoring particularly well for its 'Sport Clubs', while on a more unorthodox section, Bangkok came out top for adult entertainment, followed closely behind by Tokyo. 

GetYourGuide confirmed a UNWTO report shows continued growth of international tourism, with the number of international tourists reaching 781 million between the months of January and August - 36 million more than the same period in 2013. 

And those visitors expected to make their way to the Mother City for the first time are in for a host of new fun. A New City Walk will bring the city’s Big Six tourism attractions Cape Point, Robben Island, Groot Constantia, Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch and the V&A Waterfront up to seven.  And, yes, it will have free wi-fi all the way!
