The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
The V&A Waterfront attracts more than 20 million
visitors every year and has proved time and again to be one of South Africa's
most popular tourist destinations. It is the perfect destination for any tourist, and consists of over 400 stores, craft
sheds and gourmet restaurants.
Shopping
The unique blend of Victorian architecture, maritime
tradition and African culture creates an environment that is lively and
cosmopolitan. All stores at the V&A Waterfront are open until 9pm,
seven days a week for your convenience, and there are over 6000 open-air
and underground parking bays, patrolled and monitored 24 hours a day for
greater peace of mind.
Seal Landing
The most special feature of the Waterfront is probably
the familiar sight of a colony of Cape fur seals resting on the seal landing
in the Clock Tower precinct, or on old tyres lining the quaysides.
The Two Oceans Aquarium
The Two Oceans Aquarium offers glimpses of over 3000
living animals, including fishes, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles and
birds. The Aquarium offers unique opportunities such as diving with the
sharks and copper hat diving, sleepovers for children, facilities for
conferences and functions and the daily feeding of the fishes at 15h30.
The V&A Waterfront Marina
Six years of planning and designing are now taking shape
in the form of the V&A Marina on the water's edge, one of the world's
foremost Marina developments. The V&A Waterfront Marina is being developed
in phases and when complete will consist of some 600 dwelling units with
over 200 boat moorings.
