V&A Waterfront
V&A Waterfront – Cape Town’s Shopping Harbour
Cape Town’s working harbour turned into one of Africa’s most visited destinations — a mix of galleries, restaurants, boutiques and the striking Zeitz MOCAA museum, all set against a backdrop of fishing boats and Table Mountain. It’s the departure point for ferries to Robben Island and a natural anchor for an evening out, whether that means fresh seafood on the water or a sundowner with a view across Table Bay.

Best time to visit the V&A Waterfront
The V&A Waterfront is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during Cape Town’s warm summer months from November to April. Enjoy sunny weather, outdoor dining, harbour cruises, live entertainment, and spectacular views of Table Mountain. For a more relaxed experience with fewer crowds, visit in the morning or around sunset, when the waterfront comes alive with a vibrant atmosphere and golden light.
