V&A Waterfront
- Surrounding the Table Bay Hotel
One of the most popular tourist attractions in Cape town
is the V & A Waterfront. It 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. The unique blend of Victorian
architecture, maritime tradition and African culture creates a bustling
cosmoploitan atmosphere.
Shopping
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 most special feature of the Waterfront is probably
the familiar sight of a colony of Cape fur seals resting on the seal landing
in the Clock Tower precinct, or on old tyres lining the quaysides.
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
Six years of planning and designing are now taking shape
in the form of the V&A Marina on the water's edge, one of the world's
foremost Marina developments. 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.
