The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a shopping and lifestyle mecca that welcomes millions of people annually. From luxury boutiques to a beautifully curated craft market, and globally celebrated museum, the greater district offers a wealth of diversions within easy reach. Helicopter flips, boat cruises and trips to historical Robben Island all depart from here, outdoor movies are screened in summer, and kids can experience the variety of the Cape’s aquatic life up close at the world-class Two Oceans Aquarium.  

Conveniently located too – with quick access to beaches, central Cape Town, and highways in and out of the city – it’s a smart place to base yourself during your stay, and offers plentiful accommodation in the three- to five-star ranges.
