Nairobi has been ranked the third best city in the world after Paris, France and Isfahan, Iran.
British travel guide Rough Guide described the city as “Africa’s youngest, fastest-growing metropolis and the beating heart of the continent’s largest economy.”
“Style blogs, artist collectives and innovative young designers are challenging the often narrow expectations of what African art and culture are supposed to look like. Skip Nairobi now and you’re missing out, big time,” wrote roughguides.com.
Kenya's capital city emerged third best despite residents decrying increased garbage, sewerage and water problems.
