Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
Historic harbour basins, working boats, shops and cultural stops meet at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. It is an easy harbour-side base, though each attraction sets its own visiting arrangements.

The Waterfront works because the harbour still feels active rather than purely decorative. Walk the older basins, look toward Table Mountain and use the Nelson Mandela Gateway for Robben Island departures; the Two Oceans Aquarium offers a separate indoor visit.
What to look for
Historic Victoria and Alfred basins retain a harbour setting.
Working vessels share the scene with public waterfront paths.
Table Mountain rises behind the harbour.
Useful to know
Leave room to walk the basins before committing to individual attractions.
Check separate schedules for the aquarium, museums and Robben Island ferry.
