How we score
Every score is transparent. We tag each city on 5–8 dimensions (safety, cost tier, environment, vibe, food/culture/nature depth). Each traveller persona has a fixed weighting formula — a family traveller values safety and family infrastructure heavily; a digital nomad values cost and cowork density. Scores are the weighted sum, clamped 0–100.
City tags for Cape Town: Moderate safety · Mid-range costs · Coastal · Mountain access · Nature access · Food capital · Wildlife viewing · Wellness scene · Romantic · Luxury scene.
