Cape Town, you have done it again.

The TripAdvisor 25 Best Destinations in the World list was published this morning and, as you probably would have guessed, the Mother City cracked the nod. Again.

Although we did technically finish in the top 25 last year too, this year is different because now we’re sitting pretty in 10th place. A sizeable jump from 19th in 2014!

Siem Riep is a Cambodian city that, to be honest, I had never heard of until about half an hour ago, yet it finished in second place.

In front of them at first place is Marrakech, Morocco and falling in third place is Istanbul, Turkey.

So who did we pip? Feast your eyes. Cape Town finished ahead of the likes of New York, Barcelona, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Sydney and Dubai.

Let’s continue putting Cape Town on the international map and make the top five in 2016.

View the list here. Well done!
