I love the vibe, I was thinking this would be a third world city style with modern architecture, glass and steel or concrete, but the city is beautiful, I love the mix of the Dutch style and English architecture, It gave the city it own identity, that you cant find in another place of the world
Cape Town is a good city, except for the townships in the southeast part of the city where the murders and gangs is awful. But if you stay out of that, it’s safe.
I’ve been to Cape Town twice ...I’d say it’s probably the most beautifully located city in the world..as opposed to the most beautiful city in the world..
That soda is a Stoney Ginger beer, I've drank many throughout my childhood in South Africa and still occasionally have some in New Zealand, I'm still breathing

@@leof.n.abrahams8260 I'm married to an English woman. I can't say if it's better. England is safer and there's no poverty but there is something special about Western Cape.
@@frankie7529 I left West Africa in 2002 for USA but I am going back to Africa I miss home. You can't leave your city because of the poverty. You are always welcome home poverty is nothing.
Isnt it just so different? I’m from nyc met my wife here while she was visiting. I go back to capetown with her every 2 years to see family and nandos lol ! But the place has a vibe the air is fresh and the food is delicious. And not for nothing but Also the people are beautiful looking. Side note: the crime is an overrated cloud that hangs above any major city with tourism
it's generally safe ,if you just don't act a fool and don't attract to much attention.Cbd is safest .Overall the city has the highest murder rate in Africa but the lowest crime rate of all the major South African cities.Its more in neglected ,unprivileged areas ,
British architecture everywhere; you could easily be in an English provincial capital, except for the sunny weather and ethnicity; there were serious people here once, clearly invested in security and stability and keeping the forces of chaos and foreignors at bay. The Cape was part of the United Kingdom for the last thirty years before the war of independence in which the Cape largely supported the British.
Townships are the legacy of violent colonialism & racism. Holding accountable those who violently stole wealth and labor and killed people to make a life in Southern Africa, including by prosecuting violators, building housing & investing in universal healthcare, would go a long way toward reducing all crime. If the original crimes against humanity that the Dutch and British perpetrated in Southern Africa are not addressed, it’s difficult to address much smaller crimes. Post-2000s Rwanda, recovering from Belgian,French and Hutu-led genocide, post-WW2 Germany, and post-WW2 Japan provide 3 imperfect, but useful examples of reconciliation and recovery from which the world and South Africa can learn.
It depends on where you are. The area in this video (the central business district) is pretty safe during the day, and while I wouldn’t venture into some parts of the City at night - the entertainment / restaurant areas are usually safe enough. Cape Town’s notorious murder reputation comes from the central region of the Cape Flats - a region that suffers from inequality, gang-violence and unfortunately a lot of drug abuse. [SPEAKING JUST TO GENERAL TOURISTS] while tourists can take part in many excellent and safe tours and experiences within the Central Cape Flats region (which are highly-rewarding), the largest quantity of tourists who visit Cape Town will not go anywhere near these areas. If you stay in the suburbs or the city during your visit to Cape Town, you will be safe - just always keep tabs on your surroundings, that’s all.
Read up on history and you'll know why it looks so modern and there are "lots of European looking folks". Some might be tourists, some might be locals.
@Jardine Z ah it was south africa then, i met some tourists of dutch or british descent that came to turkey for summer, they told me that their parents "escaped" african country because they spoke some language that black people didn't like and were afraid of their lives.
yes indeed i live here and with all the squatters and some humans it went from bad to worse this country is so stunning but the government running it let everything go...
Maybe that is why some of us born and bred in CPT fight this much for JBG to go back where it used to be about 15years ago, cleanest though there was no competition. CPT was always the cleanest city in SA. Cape Townians make sure of that. Proud of my city. 😍🌹🇿🇦
You cant be from SA because you would know that this city has a very large Coloured ( no not black, but brown generally) population and they would not be happy about your plan... their relationship with the bantu tribes is touchy.
@@fdama I’ve got nothing to do with it, but people in general have been dividing themselves and differentiating themselves off from their fellow men into, tribes etc...since forever.
@@rickyfords You will find whites walking the streets of JHB downtown at Maboneng and around banks even at night. Go there on any given day and you will see for yourself.
@@rickyfords Security, cleanliness and orderliness has been really tightened in recent years, even around the Carlton center area. Lots of tourists come to that area, especially on weekends.
Ah, here you are again. Subway surfer, you call yourself. For years been bull shxtting about Cape town. Make out as if it dangerous in the safe areas. You a far right extremist, and/or you a typical expat liar.
The Cape town region was never settled by Blacks. It originally belonged to the Khoi San. Blacks, like Whites and Indians there are immigrants. Why does everything have to resolve around race?
@@derkurwalski9276 For the modern person, everything revolves around race because that's what academia and the media have taught them from a young age. With so many people poisoned by this mindset, it's nearly impossible to avoid the subject of race, even if you yourself don't care about it.
@@derkurwalski9276 "Khoi San" are a black ethnicity (pastoralist & hunter-gatherer). Most SA groups are descended from them. (Xhosa, Tswana, etc) In fact large numbers of Xhosa, Tswana etc people over the last 300 years have intermingled absorbed into the Cape Coloured Creole group which makes up the majority of Cape Town. (A lot of other black Africans going back to the 1650s along with Asians also were the labour who built Cape Town.) This was the demographics for Cape Town a decade ago: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_of_Cape_Town Black 39% (mostly Xhosa, but increasingly there's a minority of immigrants from the rest of Africa as well) Coloured 42% (Creole population consisting of mixed race people of African and Asian origin, as well as reclassified blacks) White 15% Indian 1.4% Interestingly even in the seventeen-hundreds two thirds of the residents of Cape Town were black or Asian. And while there was always massive discrimination, it was made far whiter through the Natives Urban Areas Act (1923) and the later Group Areas Act (1950) creating massive forced removals to the outskirts.

That is the places surrounding the airport, which is part of the Cape Flats, and area you should avoid if you a tourist

coz south africa is the most westernized country in africa...unfortunately..coz of long rule of white minority...aka apatheid...
Uh what. You thought they lived in grass huts or something?
@Jardine Z yeah i forgot about the europeans that settled in south africa thats why i was surprised to see people that didn't looked like tourist.
