Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
Number one tourist destination in Cape Town
Back to Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
The Victoria and Albert Waterfornt is the typical tourist hot spot in Cape Town. There are several shops and restaurants there and on a good day you'll see the sea lions. It is one of nicest spots in CapeTown and with the recent construction of all the new hotels in preparation for the World Cup 2010 it is a must see. You can catch the boat to Robben Island from V&A Waterfront. and Don't miss the the show in the Robben Island terminal. It will help you understand the history of Apartheid. You can also go on dinner cruises and see Cape Town from the beautiful South Atlantic Ocean. So as long as you know the pit falls of the V & A but its a good place to spend a relaxing day and do a little window shopping. If you want to do some real good shopping go to the craft bazaar in the adjacent building. There are real nice crafts to purchase there and you can bargain with the right vendors. You can also visit the ice bar ...a little pricey but well worth it and the Irish Pub across from it has a fantastic selection of beers that they brew right on site.

There is something for everyone! It is not offten that one can go to place and experience great cultural diversity that V&A has to offer! The V&A is highly recommendable for any tourist or local!

It has a great atmosphere but a little expensive compared the over part of Cape Town. It has the usual tourist prices and presents to take home.

I am from New York City, though I live in Seattle, Washington at the moment. I lived in CapeTown (Wynberg) for a few years. Besides having my two daughters, Cape Town is one of my most treasured memories. I worked in all Girls school and some some of the most beautiful sites in the world. I lived in many places internationally in this world and there is nothing like South Africa. One day, I will be taking my daughters there and my most special wish would be to live there again with my girls. I miss South Africa so much. It was a fantastic experience.

The V&A Waterfront is a great place to shop, stay, and eat. Great atmosphere and very safe.

stayed here on our second visit to Cape Town- what a peaceful time!!! Your room overlooks the Marina to watch the seals play on the docks and the dolphins jump in the water.... Table Mountain is stunning- we had a Mtn View room- the way to go. Very conveniently located- would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Reminds me of Pier 39 in San Francisco or Navy Pier in Chicago.
