Cool Cape Town, the ultimate Cape Town guide

More than 180 addresses, tips and routes in and around Cape Town bundled in an attractively designed book by Barts Boekje. Bam!

Bali, New York, the South of France, Australia, Barcelona, ​​Africa... Anyone who is unsure about these holiday destinations would do well to consider Cape Town: a vibrant city trip to which you can easily combine an unforgettable nature and foodie holiday. The city and its surroundings are an open-air studio (all photogenic) and culinary attraction rolled into one (did you know that most of the best chefs in the world live in South Africa?). There is wonderful natural beauty and impressive road trips, wildlife and indescribably beautiful Out of Africa views. And in the city there is always something going on somewhere.

Only the best, nicest, tastiest and most beautiful addresses found their way to Cool Cape Town, the book written by Maartje Diepstraten, founder of the popular travel and lifestyle platform bartsboek.com and Marcelle Mudde, who lives in Cape Town - Marcelle organizes, among other things, the Restaurant week South Africa. Both have turned the search for the best addresses, routes and daytime activities into a sport, with Cape Town as one of both ultimate travel destinations. The bundle has more than 180 tips spread over two sides: on the one hand Citylife with the best of the city. Turn the book over and read in the Surroundings section about the hikes, wineries, beaches, wild life parks and hidden braais (the South African barbecue).

Day Zero, the day when water will no longer flow from Cape Town's taps, will not happen in 2018 and South African authorities are certain that this will not happen in 2019 either. This does not mean that the drought has come to an end: the water-saving measures are still in place. However, when making these calculations, visitors to the city were also taken into account. Moreover, it turned out that tourism uses no more than 2% of the water. Including swimming pools. On the other hand, a flourishing tourism market is desirable for the development of water-saving resources. You can easily support this: go! Swim, drink, eat, walk, surf, and in the meantime, keep in mind to fend off Day Zero.
