South Africa's oldest city is magnet for fans
Add the arrival of national teams from France, England, Ttaly, Portugal and the Netherlands and Cape Town becomes a magnet for World Cup football fans,too.
As long as they are not put off by the city's horrendous crime figures.
Cape Town's crime rate is one of the worst, right up there alongside another South African city, Johannesburg, with figures showing an average of 5.5 murders every day. While the vast majority of the murders,robberies and rapes take place in the townships and away from the city center, the figures make scary reading for those planing visits to Cape Town,especialy for the World Cup.
Close ti the southern trip of the African continent, Cape Town has been colonized since the middle of the 17th century and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
The only other downside is the fact that the World Cup takes place in the winter, which brings uncertain and occasionally wild weather.
