Dating back to 1860, this bucket-list stop is on almost everyone’s Cape Town itinerary ⚓
What started as a working harbour has grown into one of Cape Town’s most popular destinations, and today, the V&A Waterfront has plenty to discover.
Spend the morning browsing Victoria Wharf’s international brands, then visit the Watershed to discover jewellery, ceramics and fashion from local South African designers.
For lunch, book a table overlooking the harbour, or explore Time Out Market Cape Town , where some of Cape Town’s talented chefs serve their creations under one roof.
Make time for a visit to Zeitz Museum Of Contemporary Art Africa , a museum dedicated to contemporary art from Africa and its diaspora, housed inside a beautifully transformed historic grain silo.
And don’t forget to look up! With Table Mountain behind you and boats moving through the harbour, the views are part of the experience.
From Crayfish Penthouse, the V&A Waterfront is within easy reach, making it a wonderful way to spend a day in Cape Town.
📍Save this for your next Cape Town visit.
