The V&A Waterfront

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is a must see if you like shops, restuarants or harbours. It's a super place to visit no matter what the weather. Sun or rain this place is cool and there's a nice vibe there.














There's tons of activities:
Aquarium
Helicopter Rides
Harbour Tours
Robben Island Tours
Jazz Cafes
Cinema
Plus all the shops and food joints.

Most shops are open til 9pm at night, and a few stay open til later e.g. Exclusive Books. The restuarants stay open til late'ish too.

Not all the shops and restuarants are in the main V&A mall, so make sure you wander around or ask at Info.















How to get there
:
  • Your best option is by car.
  • I think there's still a regular (every 20 or 30 min) bus to and from Seapoint and Adderly Street in Cape Town Central - but you'll want to check this for yourself.
  • Directions - Any decent Cape Town map will have the waterfront on it. It's on the north side of Cape Town - where the harbour is, near Green Point. Google Maps

Parking:
  • There's loads of parking. Outdoors parking is free, plus there's lots of undercover parking now - I think the first 2 hours are free. Outdoor parking can be a hassel to find if it's a very busy day, but keep hunting and you will find some.
