| The V&A Waterfront is definitely one of
the biggest tourist attractions in Cape Town. It was originally a port
built in 1860, when Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria's second son, tipped the
rock for construction for the breakwater. Original buildings have been
renovated and new ones developed in Victorian style. The V&A Watrefront
is still a working harbour and is a vibrant mix of museums, theatres and
cinemas, including a large-screen Imax Cinema, an aquarium, craft markets,
bars, restaurants, first class hotels, live music and outdoor entertainment.
The Two Oceans Aquarium is a new type of international marine zoo and a visit
here is a must even if you have seen the Australian or the Californian equivalent.
The Robben Island Exhibition and Information Centre is also located here.
