Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is Cape Town's most visited tourist destination. It is not difficult so see why with so much to do and so much to see. With Table Mountain as a backdrop and the sea on the other side, you can't ask for a better setting. At the heart of everything, is the working harbour, the Victoria and Alfred Basins. Here mooring is provided for visiting passenger liners,the Robben Island Ferries and various other vessels offering cruises in and around the harbour.
With ample and safe parking available, the Waterfront can easily be explored by foot.The Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre is crammed with shops, cinemas, kiosks and stalls. The restaurants cater for all tastes, ranging from sushi bars, coffee shops, take-out joints and upmarket venues.

I enjoy the atmosphere, with the buskers providing great background music and with everyone in the mood to have a good time. With so much to see and so much to do, why not spend the day?
