\"\"<\/a>The UK paper The Herald<\/strong> has compiled a top ten non-Euro holiday destination list, which offers British visitors good value for money.\u00a0\u00a0South Africa\u00a0is one of the destinations on the list, and Cape Town is mentioned specifically.<\/p>\n

The Herald<\/strong> says the following about South Africa:\u00a0 “A beautiful climate, staggering scenery and chance to experience a safari make modern South Africa a dream destination. The fact that the rand has been faring badly against the pound, and is now 12% weaker than it was last year, makes it more affordable for UK visitors. While airfares to South Africa are not cheap, after touching down there are a number of excellent budget accommodation options.”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The paper recomends the following “m<\/span><\/span><\/span>ust see”: ‘Table mountain dominates the city’s skyline and a visit makes for a memorable holiday highlight. Experienced hikers can get to the top for free under their own steam. However, most visitors opt for the revolving cablecar which costs R130. (\u00a38.80). From the top you can enjoy views which stretch as far as the Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope.’<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Other destinations that are on the top ten list are Turkey, Iceland, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Bulgaria, Croatia, Kenya, Mexico\u00a0and Egypt.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
