Time Out has named three African cities among the world’s best for 2025. Cape Town leads the list, with Marrakech and Lagos also earning places in the global rankings.

Each year, Time Out surveys thousands of people living in cities across the world. Respondents answer questions about different aspects of daily life, such as food, nightlife, culture, and how connected they feel to their city.

The publication also consults local experts who give input on which cities are most exciting to visit in the current year. Time Out compiles its annual list of the world’s best cities based on the combined data.

In the 2025 edition, three African cities made the list, with Cape Town claiming the top position.

Here are the 3 best African cities in the world in 2025

1. Cape Town – Ranked #1

Cape Town has been named the world’s best city for 2025. The city received top marks from residents, with 95% rating the local food scene highly. An even higher 97% of respondents said the city made them feel happy.

According to Andrew Hallett, content director for Time Out South Africa, Cape Town stands out because of its unique combination of nature, history, and leisure. He highlighted how visitors and locals alike can explore beaches, visit a colony of penguins, view landscapes from a recognised natural wonder, and sample a variety of cultural activities – all in one day.

2. Marrakech – Ranked #37

Marrakech also made the list, ranking 37th globally. Known for its hospitality, the Moroccan city earned praise for its developing food scene and community warmth.

Local expert Sally Kirby noted that Marrakech continues to grow in popularity due to its combination of tradition and modern development. The city has become a destination for travellers interested in both cultural heritage and new culinary experiences.

3. Lagos – Ranked #41

Lagos, Nigeria’s largest city, took the 41st spot on the list. The survey found that 72% of residents feel it is easy to meet new people and form social connections.

Lagos remains a major cultural and business hub in Africa. Its energy, diversity, and population density contribute to a social environment where making friends is straightforward. The city has also gained recognition for its music and creative industries.

Lagos will be great again when the right people are in the istration of Nigeria.


This is what they threw VDM into jail, that his video he was trying to release after visiting makoko would have been explosive.

Wait for them.

Lagos is great already thanks to the quality of leadership the Yoruba owned city has received over the years. It is not a mistake that it is the only city that made the list in Nigeria.


We should be appealing to the past and present leadership of Lagos to please help us replicate the magic they did in Lagos to other states like Anambra, Abia, Enugu, Delta etc that have been unfortunate to consistently have failures and incompetent buffoons as leaders.

That is the reason why we Yoruba Muslims are in full of Seyi Tinubu as the next governor of Lagos state inshallah, Tinubu built Lagos, Seyi Tinubu will beautify it

What is Time Out?

Time magazine is different from Time out

Remove Lagos from there.

Tunisia and Algeria should replaced Lagos

Someone should show this to Agbotikuyo

Lies.
Anambra beats Lagos hands down. That's why 65% of SEners rush to Lagos daily

Lagos can't be. It is really smelly and has poor road network. Majority of it is still underdeveloped

Imo, Ebonyi, Anambra, alaigbo, Abia, except enugu, are all better than Lagos.


21st century clowns, who must reach Lagos before succeeding in life yet go on image-tarnishing spree on the same Lagos.

After that Seyi's son will take over.



Una never see anything

laughable

The only reason Lagos will continue to dominate every other place in Nigeria is because of it's access to the Atlantic.

If the north was blessed with access to the sea, I trust the aboki people. They would have crippled Lagos.

But it's a fight they can't even start.

The useless South South states that have access to the sea are using it to smuggle arms and practice oil bunkering

God really save Una with that water weh Una get
