THE VICTORIA & ALFRED WATERFRONT

Cape Town’s heartbeat and South Africa’s number one tourist attraction; the V & A buzzes with life and vitality from late morning until after midnight.

It is noted for its range of shops, which are open 7 days a week and where the British pound goes a long way.

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront

You can even claim back the VAT on higher-value purchases making it a shoppers paradise.

The city centre is known locally as ‘The Bowl’. Stroll through the beautiful gardens (originally the vegetable garden of the Dutch East India Company) and visit the daily market in Greenmarket Square. 

No visit is complete without a trip in the cable car to the top of Table Mountain.
