   So many things — mag­ni­fi­cent Table Mountain (of course), hav­ing forests, wine­lands and beaches just minutes away, sun­down­ers and people watch­ing in Camps Bay, eat­ing fish and chips on the rocks in Kalk Bay. Perhaps my favour­ite is the way the ocean sparkles on a sunny day enti­cing you to get out and enjoy the beauty that is Cape Town.

   One of the cri­teria are "sus­tain­able devel­op­ment". I dont know how we won — con­sid­er­ing that we use 3x the amount of resources avail­able to each cit­izen in CT.

   We might be beau­ti­ful today — but we're not ensur­ing that we're going to be beau­ti­ful in the near future.

   The beaches, the moun­tains, the wine­lands and the beau­ti­ful National Parks that are eas­ily access­ible and most import­antly afford­able for people to go out and enjoy. Lets not for­get about the friendly people and the gen­eral great vibe of a great city!

   Cape Town really is a one stop shop for me! There are too many things to have just one favour­ite, I love the fact that everything is so close and you can go from an urban set­ting to a stun­ning beach, climb up a moun­tain, walk in the forest or a friends beau­ti­ful garden. There is so much to love in Cape Town, the people, the land­scape, the food, the vibe, for me it is hap­pi­ness personified!

   Congratulations to Cape Town. It had won the "Best World City" Award in December 2008
   (Telegraph travel Awards), but being on the Forbes list is some­thing special.

    I would love to go to SA.... we have friends that live there and I have longed for the hol­i­day and may be to live in the beau­ti­ful sur­round­ings of the coun­try. One piece of advice though, it's a 12 hour flight for us Brits so dont for­get your JetRest travel pil­low ! Wonderful.

    Why isn't Rio, Brasil on the list of the most beau­ti­ful cit­ies?
    It should be among the first five. Not only is it world fam­ous but it's also gor­geous, all sur­roun­ded by moun­tains and the ocean.
