What’s So Great About Cape Town?
While many cities across the world boast that they are the best, Cape Town is one that truly is wonderful. The city is one of the three capital cities of South Africa and home to many expats that moved to the area due to the enticing scenery as well as the work opportunities. Cape Town is welcoming to digital nomads and that is a great advantage to expats that work from home.
Some of the best things about life in this paradise are the many exciting things to do in the great outdoors including hiking, walking, surfing, swimming, and water sports. Those who prefer a good evening indoors tend to enjoy the outstanding nightlife with plenty of lounges, dance clubs, restaurants, and other fun places to socialize and meet new people.
It helps that the city is home to many shopping centers where locals and tourists alike can spend hours on end shopping for one-of-a-kind gifts, home goods, clothing, and more.
The best thing about Cape Town, however, is not the things to do or places to go. The best thing is the fact that the people who live in this vibrant city are warm and friendly to newcomers to the area.
