Cape Town has become a huge tourist destination thanks to its stunning scenery, burgeoning culinary scene, and favorable exchange rate.

Food and travel here is reasonably priced, with bus fares as low as $ 0.94 (12.60 rand) and a meal at a nice restaurant costing around $ 17 (228 rand) per person.
