Travel+Leisure magazine has released its list of top cities to travel to in 2015<\/a>, and Cape Town has been ranked among the best.<\/p>\n

The South African city was ranked as the 9th best city in the world, according to the magazine.<\/p>\n

The “World’s Best” awards are determined by popular vote among the publication’s readers via survey, where people were asked to rate various aspects of their journeys.<\/p>\n

The scores represent indexed averages of responses concerning applicable characteristics.<\/p>\n

Specifically, the world’s best cities were determined by looking at Sights\/landmarks in and around the city, culture\/arts, restaurants\/food, people\/friendliness, shopping, and overall value.<\/p>\n

Cape Town is seen as South Africa’s prime destination for travelers, having been ranked among the top cities in the world by several global travel publications, including Conde Nast.<\/p>\n
