 | |  |  | V&A Waterfront: Waterfront, the occidental side of Cape Town | |  |  | |  |
The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of the most famous places of Cape Town. Its particularity is that it is still an important port, even if it is more knows for its shops and its restaurants. While there you can walk along the docks, visit the Two Oceans Aquarium and have a beer or a meal in one of the many restaurants. The Clock Tower is a nice commercial centre full of shop, mainly for tourist who desire to buy some presents (but the prices are way higher than any other shop, not to mention the handicraft shops in the small villages). What I have found interesting were the jewels shops, in particular the Tanzanite International and the Diamond International: there you can see some marvelous gems and buy it at a lower prices than Europe (still not exactly cheap!)
Make sure to go to the Two Ocean Aquarium, it sure worth a visit! Also, sit back and relax in one of the many bars and drink a fresh beer while watching the sea.
From the Waterfront, it departs the ferry to Robben Island, so if you prefer to know more about the history of South Africa, take it and discover the island where the new nation was built.
