There’s a romantic Victoria Harbour in the Southern Hemisphere 🌊.
When “Victoria Harbour” is mentioned, most people think of the one in Hong Kong. But in fact, there’s also a Victoria Harbour in Cape Town, South Africa—and it’s a must-visit for every traveler to Cape Town 😍. Nestled in Cape Town’s inner bay waterfront area, Victoria Harbour is backed by Table Mountain and faces the sea. Here, you can soak up all the coastal charm: the slowly rotating Ferris wheel seems to hum a love song unique to Cape Town, and this is also the liveliest, most bustling area in the city 🥳. In the evening, order a few plates of seafood barbecue, listen to some music, share a mojito with your loved one, and watch the sunset sink slowly below the sea’s horizon. With clouds drifting over distant Table Mountain, the view is simply breathtaking 🌅. The area is home to a wealth of Cape Town’s shops, craft markets, upscale hotels, waterfront bars, and restaurants. New and old buildings complement each other—there’s a bit of a jumble, but it’s full of character 🤩. 🌍 Guide: Victoria Harbour - Robben Island - Table Mountain 🕘 Morning: Start at the world-famous Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.
