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.

What to do

Visit the Two Oceans Aquarium and watch fish in their natural habitat and see sharks hand fed by divers.
At the Nelson Mandela Gateway you can take a tour to Robben Island.
The Gateway has a restaurant and museum conveying the island's history.
Take a walk to Nobel Square and see the slightly larger than life sculptures honouring South Africa's four Nobel Peace Prize Laureates
See Cape Town’s 2'nd oldest major fortification, The Chavonnes Battery Museum.
Enjoy the performances of the buskers
Sit down and chill - enjoy the sights, sounds and smells!
See the earliest existing model of Table Bay harbour and a collection of ship models at The Maritime Centre.
Learn more about diamonds at the Diamond Museum

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?
