The Mother City is famous for its natural beauty. Mountain ranges that form spectacular skylines, unique endemic fynbos, boulder-lined, sandy beaches, winelands that boast striking views: Cape Town has it all.
No person with any form of camera hasn’t spent time capturing its lovely scenery, whether to appreciate it again and again or to show it off to friends.
Hoppa, a travel comparison company, has recently voted Cape Town as one of the world’s most Instagrammable cities.
The rank of a city was determined by number of times its hashtag was used on social media between March 2018 and March 2019. The Cape Town hashtag has been used close to 10 million times.
The list consisted of 50 global cities, where each was also rated for what it was most popular for. The categories included selfies, scenery, sexually suggestive content, food, and couples.
Cape Town placed 6th in the world for a city that has its scenery photographed and shared on Instagram the most. Santiago ranked first, Buenos Aires second, Klev third, Kuala Lumpur fourth, and Antalya fifth.
Cape Town was the only South African city to make the Top 50 list, ranking 44th overall, beating Shanghai, Copenhagen, Phuket, and Frankfurt.
