Time Out magazine has named Cape Town the world's best city for 2025, surpassing major global cities. This accolade is based on a worldwide survey assessing cultural offerings, quality of life, and affordability. The award is expected to significantly boost Cape Town's tourism and investment, driving economic growth and job creation. However, the city also faces challenges such as infrastructure improvements and addressing socio-economic disparities to maintain its elevated status. Ultimately, this recognition positions Cape Town as a leading global destination and a model for sustainable development.
