Victoria & Alfred Waterfront - Cape Town
Harbour
The hugely successful Victoria
& Alfred Waterfront complex has been developed around older wharves of the
scenic Cape Town
harbour. the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is one of the most popular places
to dine and stroll, day and night, and has the charm of a working harbour with
seagulls and fur seals waiting for scraps from fishing boats, and tugs tied
next to luxury yachts.
The
smell of salty sea air mingles with that of lobster and garlic prawns on
the magnificent seafood platters served at smart patio tables. It is an
excellent example of the worldwide trend to revitalise big city ports and
has a vibrant atmosphere visited by locals and tourists alike, but with
prices a little higher than elsewhere. The harbour buildings date back to
1860, when Prince Alfred (Queen Victoria’s son) tipped the rock for
construction of the breakwater. Original buildings have been renovated and
new buildings have been built in the same Victorian style.
Along with a dazzling choice of restaurants, there are two shopping centres
and two craft markets offering something for every shopper, as well as multi-screen
cinemas and bars. During the day, an assortment of helicopter flips and boat
rides are on offer, including a high speed catamaran to Robben Island where
Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Don’t miss the Two Oceans Aquarium, offering
300 species of underwater. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has domething for
everyone.
