DESTINATIONS

Situated between Robben Island and Table Mountain in the heart of Cape Town's working harbour, the V&A Waterfront is South Africa's most visited destination.

Much of the Waterfront’s charm lies in the fact that this busy commercial harbour is set in the midst of a huge entertainment venue with pubs, restaurants, specialty shops, craft markets and theatres.

Shop until your drop, indulge your passion for fine dining, or take a walk along the breakwater where the kelpy ocean scents and yelping seagulls intermingle with the shipping activity to remind you that this is a destination unlike any other in the world!

One of the best ways to enjoy the spectacular scenery in and around Cape Town’s Table Bay is to take any one of the many boat or helicopter trips that depart from the Waterfront daily.

While seal watching is an amusing diversion, the Two Oceans Aquarium showcases the incredible diversity of marine life found in the mighty Indian and Atlantic oceans.  With its kaleidoscope of over 3 000 living sea animals, this spectacular underwater nature reserve is a must see.

The Maritime Museum focuses on the history of shipping from prehistoric times to the present day. Boat trips around the harbour and along the coast are always popular while helicopter flips provide a broader perspective.

If you’re looking for a culture fix, live entertainment can be enjoyed at the Amphitheatre and BMW Pavilion while live jazz is the order of the day at the Green Dolphin.

The wide variety of leisure activities and attractions at the V&A Waterfront makes this unique destination the first choice for both local and foreign visitors.
