Cape Town has been ranked fifth in the world in Time Out’s 2026 Top 20 best cities for art and culture, noted for its layered and evolving cultural scene.
Each year, Time Out seeks to identify the world’s cultural capitals—places where locals and visitors can easily access and enjoy art collections, theatre, music, and cultural celebrations at affordable prices.
To compile this year’s list, Time Out surveyed 24,000 residents from over 150 cities, asking them to evaluate the quality and affordability of their local culture scene.
In addition, residents shared what their city excels at, whether it’s comedy, carnivals, live music, or literature.
The feedback was combined with insights from Time Out’s culture panel, which consists of editors, writers, and local experts who voted for the cities they consider the most exciting for culture and the arts at present.
To ensure the list represents the best cultural cities globally, Time Out said it included only the highest-scoring cities from each country.
“Africa’s collective creativity is anchored at the Zeitz MOCAA and in the Norval Foundation’s contemporary sculpture garden,” said Time Out Cape Town Editor Selene Brophy.
