 V&A WATERFRONT. by PEE-WEE Always known simply as 'the Waterfront,' this rehabbed area is a buzzing place where pockets of dockside life remain alongside good attractions like the Two Oceans Aquarium and quite a lot of nightlife. Despite all the development, it remains a working harbor and that is the source of most of its charm. Although it's tempting, don't walk between the city and the Waterfront; muggings do happen here.

 V & A WATERFRONT. by PEE-WEE The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (always just called the Waterfront), popular with both tourists and locals, is an atmospheric, buzzing place where pockets of dockside life remain alongside good attractions, especially the aquarium. Despite the Waterfront’s convenience and lively atmosphere – especially on balmy nights – the restaurants and cafes here fare rather poorly in comparison with their more interesting and generally lower priced, brethren in town. This is just as you’d expect for what is in essence a giant tourist trap. This said, with scores of options catering to all budgets, there are some decent places here. Leave a Comment

The Victoria and Alfred waterfront is a popular spot for shopping, dining and other kinds of entertainment.In the evenings, lots of street artists perform here and there's a fairground atmosphere. Apart from this it's still a working harbour and boats to Robben Island and harbour cruises depart from here Leave a Comment

I just love this place. Great restaurants and coffee shops, tons of shopping from designer shops to stalls with interesting typically african products, a scratch patch where you can collect your own gem stones, cinema's, great boat trips etc Leave a Comment

 V & A Waterfront by mvtouring This is one of the most exiting places around Cape Town to visit and I have discovered a must on every tourist agenda. All the boats to Robben Eiland leave from here. The shopping is great, I wish I could live here, but the prices of the apartments are rediculously high. Leave a Comment

 One tricky limbo act!!! by DesertRat Street entertainers seem to be a real tradition at the V&A. Walking around the area, you run into them everywhere, and most are very, very good, especially the musicians. Talking with locals, I found out that the management of V&A actually vetts them, so inferior acts -- so to speak -- aren't allowed to perform. Leave a Comment Directions: Buskers seem to be in most areas of C.T. where tourists congregate, so the V & A isn't the only place you'll run into them.Website: http://www.waterfront.co.za

 Seal in a Tire at Cape Town, South Africa by jumpingnorman, 4 more photos I enjoyed walking around this wonder V & A Waterfront where a lot of tourists go to...my brother-in-law took at 70 day cruise of the continent of Africa and one of his favorites was this wonderful harbour area where you can have awesome food as you leave your cruise ship. The V & A is located between Robben Island and Table Mountain at Cape Town's working harbour, and it is known for it's restaurants, luxury hotels and amazing shopping. I actually found a shop there where a lot of souvenirs were so affordable so I bought a lot of them...plus chocolates! (unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the shop but it qwas very near the clock tower). Also, I took a little boat cruise around the harbour itself and I saw a seal sleeping so nicely in one of the huge tires at the harbour (have it in one of the pictures). I think it was less than $20 to go on that boat and it was worth it to experience seeing the V&A from the water. Leave a Comment

 V & A Waterfront by Travelchili Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - named after the son of Queen Victoria - is definitely one of the must-sees in Cape Town. The history of the waterfront goes back to 1860 when the fist waterbreak was built in this site. Leave a Comment Directions: You can reach the Waterfront by shuttle bus from the city centre, Table Mountain or even the Internation Airport. Website: http://www.waterfront.co.za

 Victoria & Alfred Waterfront by Radiomom Shops, restaurants, WATER, boats, a cool little bridge, entertainment....what's not to like, especially on a pretty day. We enjoyed poking around, and found it easy to catch a cab into town to continue our self-guided mini-tour on our first day in Cape Town. Remember, it's Victoria and Alfred NOT Albert! Her son Alfred spent some time in Cape Town. Leave a Comment Directions: If you're driving, it is well marked. Ditto if you're on foot. And it's also a no-brainer for cabbies.Website: http://www.waterfront.co.za

 At the V&A Waterfront by IIGUANA It's always nice to go, see some crafts (although they're all more expensive... try not to buy anything, it's just to have an idea), eat something or just relax by the ocean. There are some shops, some restaurants and lots of people. Leave a Comment
