Cape Town’s ‘most worth it’ attraction, makes it to number 16 on the Global Experience List, a global analysis of over three million traveller reviews by InsureandGo.
There’s no shortage of “must-do” lists when you land in Cape Town. Scroll TikTok, and your itinerary has 47 stops, three outfit changes and a sunrise hike.
But are all these attractions worth it? A global analysis of over three million traveller reviews by InsureandGo found that the experiences people rave about most aren’t the easiest. They’re the ones that demand effort. Time. A bit of grit.
- Cape Town plays that game very well. Out of 20 destinations on the list, the Cape of Good Hope ranked 16th globally, with 13.6% of reviews describing it as “worth it.”
The south easter is unapologetic. Driving there takes effort. Be alert for the baboon or two plotting something chaotic. But that wild, end-of-the-world feeling? Unmatched! No surprise this spot made the global “worth it” list. It’s dramatic. A little inconvenient. Completely unforgettable.
Time Out Tip: The Cape of Good Hope is often confused with the southernmost tip of Africa. That’s actually Cape Agulhas.
Why it’s worth the visit
The historical significance can’t be ignored. First rounded by Portugal’s Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, it was originally named The Cape of Storms with its treacherous waters.
Cape Point is an easy cliffside hike from the Cape of Good Hope. The area features the famous Cape Point Lighthouse, striking cliffs, and expansive ocean views.
Keep an eye out for diverse fauna, ostriches, and bontebok. And those “cute” baboons? Always secure your belongings. They’re the cheekiest kind of bag snatchers.
