Congratulations to Kloof Street in Cape Town! In what is sure to be a major boost for the Mother City, this vibey stretch of road has been identified as one of the coolest on the planet by lifestyle specialists Time Out. And when you weigh-up their reasoning, it’s very hard to disagree…
Kloof Street acts as the gateway between the City Bowl’s leafier suburbs, and Cape Town’s bustling central business district. This is not just a hipster’s paradise, either. It’s selection of easy-going bars and accessible food joints ensure that all tastes are catered for.
Of course, you’ve got a few fancier spots. Kloof Street House provides a dining experience like no other, and there’s even an access point for the prestigious Mount Nelson Hotel. However, no-one can call this avenue ‘pretentious’ – and its selection of backpacking hostels attests to this.
WHY IS KLOOF STREET CONSIDERED AS ONE OF THE WORLD’S COOLEST STREETS?
Simply put, Kloof Street is a great place for a morning coffee, a day on the sauce, or that *very* special dinner you’ve been planning for months. Time Out were quick to highlight this versatility, amongst its five stand-out reasons to take a long walk around these parts:
Fine eateries and ‘perfect date nights’ have been identified as some of the major draws.
As mentioned earlier, this ‘boulevard of cool’ has been praised for its versatility, going down a treat with locals AND tourists alike.
Kloof Street is also noted for its ‘magical views’ and ‘buzz by the bucketful’.
Local fashion and boutique art galleries have scored some big points for Kloof Street, too.
Alongside a handful of breathtaking hotels, a highly-regarded Wellness Centre has also put this corner of Cape Town on the map.
