V&A Waterfront
in Cape Town
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is South Africa's
most visited tourist destination and attracts over 20 million visitors
per year. The Waterfront continues to grow and it currently consists of
over 400 stores, 45 different restaurants and bars, an arts and crafts
centre, an aquarium, a children's science exploratium and the IMAX cinema.
Shopping
A combination of Victorian architecture, tradition
and African culture create a luxury marina 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 familiar sight of a colony of Cape fur seals resting
on the seal landing in the Clock Tower precinct makes the area unique.
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
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. The V&A Marina has been designed and planned
for a number of years and is finally taking shape and there will always
be more improvements and growth in this area.
