Mike Peel / CC BY-SA 4.0Where to stay in V&A Waterfront & Green Point
The old harbour turned into a precinct, and the strip of Green Point and Mouille Point behind it: the aquarium, the Robben Island boats, the Zeitz museum in the grain silo, the stadium, and a promenade that runs for kilometres along the sea. Contained, patrolled and endlessly provided for — the least like the city it sits in, which is both the criticism and the reason people choose it.
