Admire the Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre and the harbour from where the boat cruises depart as we make our way to Ferrymans Tavern.
Learn about the V&A Waterfront’s history and its heritage sites from your knowledgeable guide. Sites such as Ferrymans Tavern, Quarry Tunnel, Time Ball Tower, Robinson Dry Dock, Nobel Square, Clock Tower, and Chavonnes Battery, to name a few.
Stroll to The Watershed, a vibrant market showcasing local design and craftsmanship. This is the perfect spot to interact with locals and learn about their craft. You might even see an artist in action creating their designs.
Head to Time Out Market for a unique South African coffee and a traditional Cape Malay treat.
Experience the musical vibes from the buskers performing at the V&A Waterfront, before making your way to the Silo District, a contemporary hub featuring cutting-edge architecture and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA).
Finally, we’ll make our way to Battery Park, an urban park that connects Cape Town’s CBD and the V&A Waterfront through a series of pedestrian routes, including one alongside the canal.
