V&A Waterfront
There are few places as quintessentially Cape Town as the
V&A Waterfront. The old world charm of the historical harbour meets the
most modern shopping experience and the gaps in between are filled with fine
dining restaurants, down-to- earth food markets, museums, and more leisure
activities than you can count on both hands.
The V&A Waterfront has a romanticism about it that has
been attracting visitors since its development in 1988. The 123-hectare
property holds a shopping mall, marina, working harbour, and scores of other
smaller features.
There is plenty on offer for the kids – from the Hamleys
Express train ride from the Cape Wheel to the Watershed, to a ride on the Jolly
Roger Pirate Boat and in the School holidays, fun-filled holiday programmes.
When you’ve built up an appetite, take your pick of cuisine,
take in the hub of activity of a working
harbour while you feast on divine food. Watch a show in the amphitheatre and
take a romantic sunset harbour cruise. Finally, as the stars come out and the city
lights up, climb into the Cape Wheel for the inimitable 360° view of the
marina, the city and the stadium, all framed in the foreground of Table
Mountain.
With all this and even more on offer, it really is no wonder
that the V&A Waterfront joins the ranks with Cape Point, Groot Constantia,
Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Robben Island, Table Mountain Cableway
and City Walk as one of Cape Town’s Big 7.
