Time magazine has named Franschhoek one of the 2022 World’s Greatest Places, out of a total of 50 Places.

Time sought nominations from its correspondents and contributors, highlighting places ‘offering new and exciting experiences’.

Additional points went to cities with a symphony orchestra, and a metro system.
