Cape Town has once again earned a spot on the 50 Most Instagrammable Places in the World List, this is its 6th time on the list.
Cape Town, South Africa (25 January 2024) – Cape Town is a beautiful place, you get beaches, forests, Winelands and more all in one beautiful bubble. So it is no surprise that the Mother City has earned a place on the 50 Most Instagrammable Places in the World list, yet again! And by again, we mean a 6th consecutive year!
The first time our Mother City made the list, was in 2019; at the time, the city earned 5th place. Every year since then, the city has bounced around but always earned a place on the list.
The reason Cape Town keeps earning a spot is because there are so many different places to go, and it really is beautifully Instagrammable. You can take your heart-worthy photos at the top of Table Mountain or Lion’s Head. You can pose on the sandy white beaches or with a cocktail in hand at a trendy cafe; you can run through the vineyards and taste cheeses and wine. The options are endless!
The award is given by Big 7 Travel on their newly updated website EnjoyTravel.com, which uses a comprehensive scoring system that analyses the number of hashtags and TikTok views per destination, sample survey results of Big 7 Media’s audiences, and from the global editorial team.
According to this year’s stats, Cape Town grabbed mentions on the biggest platforms in the millions! Instagram boasted a whopping 14,085,161 mentions and TikTok a staggering 6,600,000,000 mentions. Wow!
“Cape Town’s landscape is an enthralling mix of beaches, buzzy city life, and natural beauty. Capture the unique topography of Table Mountain from across the city, whether that’s the V&A Waterfront or Signal Hill. No trip to Cape Town is complete without a hike up Table Mountain, and some of the best views are only a short distance up from Kloof Corner. The Corner is a rocky ledge overlooking Lion’s Head and Camps Bay. To switch up the scenery, why not capture the colourful houses of Bo-Kaap? It’s one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, with Table Mountain standing proud in the distance.” – EnjoyTravel.com
