About This Guide
Set against the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain and Signal Hill, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront seamlessly blends historic dock architecture with contemporary luxury.

Insider Tips
The Zeitz MOCAA museum is worth half a day — book tickets in advance.
Sunsets from the Waterfront's Clock Tower Precinct are spectacular; arrive early for a table.
The Two Oceans Aquarium is excellent for families and included in many hotel packages.
