One of Cape Town’s greatest strengths is its diversity. It runs through the city’s landscape, its cultures, the people, the food – and the range of budgets catered for. The rand is generally fairly weak compared to many currencies, so South Africa is quite an affordable destination if you’re coming from Europe, Oceania, or North America. Moreover, while Cape Town tends to be a bit pricier than other parts of the country, it still offers great value.
