Cape Town Tops World as Best LGBTQ+ Destination

Cape Town celebrates its crowning as the world's top LGBTQ+ city destination at the 2026 Spartacus Travel Awards in Berlin. The honor, accepted by Cape Town Tourism's Chief Marketing Officer Briony Brookes during ITB Berlin, spotlights the city's vibrant queer culture, inclusive neighborhoods, beaches, and nightlife where authenticity thrives. Mayoral Committee Member James Vos praises this as a testament to diversity, openness, and inclusion, especially ahead of WorldPride 2028.
