Waterfront & Atlantic promenadeAttraction
V&A Waterfront
A working harbour wrapped in shops, restaurants, markets and museums.
Why it’s worth it
Tugs and fishing boats still use the harbour that frames the district, and the Waterfront blends them with places to eat, an art museum and the departure point for Robben Island ferries. It rewards wandering rather than a fixed plan. Pick one or two anchors, such as the aquarium or Zeitz MOCAA, and let the rest happen.
