Cape Town is the heart of South Africa, offering a spectacular night life, with as many clubs and discos as you can stand, keeping you dancing until all hours of the night. The beaches are lovely, and many people say they are the most beautiful sands in the world. There are also plenty of special attractions that can please any traveler, of all ages. It’s a heady mix of cultures and languages, and people come here from all over the world, enjoying the amazing energy that can’t be found anywhere else. For the discerning traveler, the top Cape Town hotels meet the best standards for hospitality anywhere, and there’s a sensibility here that’s entirely pleasing.
Guests are always amazed at the magnificent array of delights the city has to offer, and there are plenty of good reasons why it’s such an attractive place to come to get away from it all. It is one of the major players in the world culture scene, and you can participate in observing some of the most interesting and innovative new works of performance and visual art, and it’s always stunning to be able to witness new creations while they’re in process. There are many different cultures here, with an amazing number of languages spoken by the local populations, as well as all the European languages that the immigrant populations have brought here. Not everyone expects to find fantastic gypsy music in South Africa, but you can find it.
They’re called Balkanology, and they provide for some of the most exciting, and maddest parties around. They formed in Cape Town, and most of the members are from elsewhere originally, but some local, and they mix together some of the more popular styles from the Balkans, add their own spice and style, and then start playing from the chaotic mess that they’ve made. It’s great fun, the music is absolutely lively, and at times it even borders on exquisite, letting gypsy sounds drive the evenings events into a fantastic blur, making splendid memories on the dirt and in the air in Cape Town.
