Situated between Table Mountain and Cape Town's active harbour, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has become South Africa's most visited destination. Regardless of the time of year, the V&A waterfront should always be on your to-do list when visiting Cape Town.
The Waterfront is set against a backdrop of the breathtaking ocean and Table Mountain. Make sure to bring your camera because this setting is definitely one you will want to take a picture of.
You can easily spend an entire day walking around the waterfront visiting various entertainment areas and shops. The Aquarium is a must for all sea creature lovers. If shopping is more your thing, there are various local African shops where you can purchase something special to take back as a souvenir.
The V&A mall has local stores as well as international designer shops. The Blue Shed is exactly that. A big shed with a blue roof filled with various open markets. You definitely need at least an hour or so to walk through the shed.
The V&A Waterfront is also home to some of the best restaurants in Cape Town. There are a wide variety of cuisines to choose from. So decide what you feel like and then take your pick.
So whether you want to spend the day listening to live African music, doing some shopping, or eating some delicious food, the Waterfront has it all just waiting for you.
