You will most likely come here because this place is in literally every guide about Cape Town. You might think: Is it worth it? But let me tell you, it's kinda cool to visit the oldest working harbour in the Southern Hemisphere.
With Table Mountain as its backdrop, the V&A waterfront welcomes tourists but you'll see that locals come here as well to stroll along the harbour, listen to the street musicians or have a drink in one of the bars.
Here are a few things you can do/visit at the V&A waterfront:
Have a drink at the Cause Effect Cocktail Kitchen
Visit The Lounge at The Table Bay hotel for excellent cocktails
Get a snack with harbour views at Quay Four Restaurant
Cross the Clocktower Bridge and watch the sea lions
Venture out further and actually stroll along the Marina Two Quay Street
