This is the oldest part of Cape Town's harbor, dating back to 1860. Although still a working harbor, it has transformed into one of Cape Town's prime attractions. Restaurants, bars and cafes abound, and if it's shopping you are after, then its 240 stores—of all descriptions—are sure to please you. There are 18 movie houses as well as an IMAX Cinema with a five-story-high screen. The Two Oceans Aquarium is South Africa's largest, housing 300 marine species. A boat ride to Robben Island also departs from the V&A. Credit card acceptance varies by business.
