The V&A Waterfront in Cape Town is a vibrant and exciting retail, leisure & business hub, located on the foreshore of Cape Town, South Africa.

The Waterfront, as it is well known in Cape Town, is South Africa's most-visited destination, attracting over 24 million visitors per year. This is largely due to the mix of business and leisure that the destination is.

Whether you're a culture buff, a foodie, a shopaholic, or an adrenaline junkie, there's something to enjoy at the V&A Waterfront. You can start your  visit with a stop at the Two Oceans Aquarium, where you will be in awe of the diverse range of marine life that inhabits the Atlantic and Indian oceans, from sharks to penguins.

Still at the foreshore, can freely take a leisurely stroll around the waterfront and take in the stunning views of Table Mountain, one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World; and if you're feeling adventurous, then by all means take a ride on the Cape Wheel – a 40-metre high observation wheel that offers panoramic views of the city and the waterfront.

If shopping is more your thing, the V&A Waterfront won't disappoint. With over 450 retail outlets, you'll be spoilt for choice. From high-end luxury brands to local artisanal crafts, there's something for every taste and budget. Then there is the Watershed, an innovative marketplace that showcases the best of African design, art, and craft.

In addition to being a shopping centre, the V&A Waterfront is also a food paradise. With over 80 restaurants and cafes, you can sample cuisine from all around the world, from traditional South African braai (barbecue) to sushi, pizza, and everything in between..

After a day of fun and adventure, there is plenty of nightlife still to enjoy. You can head to the V&A Waterfront's Silo District, where you'll find a range of bars and clubs. Catch a live music performance at the Cape Town Comedy Club or dance the night away at Shimmy Beach Club.
