Cape Town and Rome are two of the most beautiful cities I know, but they're very different. They 're both large cities, but Cape Town's population isn't as big as Rome's It's more difficult to get around in Cape Town without a car because the public transportation system isn't as good as Rome's
Rome is more polluted than Cape Town. Cape Town is a windy city and the wind blows the smoke away! I like the climate in Cape Town. The winters aren't as cold as in Rome and the summers are hotter. There are more historic buildings in Rome than in Cape Town. Some of Cape Town's buildings are quite old, but most of them are modern. The people in both cities are very friendly, but Rome's population isn't as multicultural as Cape Town's. There are more ethnic restaurants in Cape Town but I don't think the food ther is as good as Rome's. Italian food is my favorite!
I think Cape Town isn't as safe as Rome. But it has one of the best locations in the world - with wonderful beaches and mountains. Which city do I perfer? It's difficult. Cape Town is more exciting, but Rome is more interesting.
