Victoria & Alfred (V&A) Waterfront
This working harbour, historical site and shopping and
entertainment development has become one of Cape Town's most
visited tourist attractions. The waterfront offers everything from
shopping malls, and arts and crafts markets, to live music,
cinemas, buskers and a variety of festivals throughout the year.
There are also more than 70 eateries ranging from pubs and fast
food outlets to five star restaurants, luxury hotels, and a variety
of boat trips, harbour cruises and helicopter charters. The Two
Oceans Aquarium is the largest of its kind in Africa and is an
impressive display of life in the oceans surrounding the Cape Coast
