From locals eyeing Table Mountain to digital nomads looking for a cheaper place to call home, Cape Town has fast become a favourite for travellers looking for a good time.
New research, by swimwear experts at Pour Moi , took a dip into the most romantic destinations for couples to add to their bucket lists this summer. The e-tailers team created an indexed report analysing three data streams for more than 550 cities around the globe. Their web search looked for the number of times reviewers described the locations as romantic, the number of things to do for couples listed in each city and the number of Instagram posts with the hashtag datenightcity. The data was pulled into an index to create a Romantic Score out of 100, with London topping the list with a score of 79.11, followed by New York and Miami.
While Paris or Rome may be synonymous with love, the study finds London to be the worlds romantic city break. The only destination surveyed in Africa was Cape Town which managed an impressive 12th place overall.
