Shopping Malls in Cape Town
Shopping in Cape Town is done largely within large shopping malls, rather than on streets. They mostly have ample parking and are safe. The most popular are:
V & A Waterfront
Much photographed the V & A Waterfront has been developed in the old harbour and has the wonderful backdrop of Table Mountain. There is a huge choice of shops including upmarket clothes shops, supermarkets (Pick and Pay and Woolworths) and bookshops. There are also lots of restaurants, a cinema and entertainment options such as the Two Oceans Aquarium, boat trips, bands and buskers. Website: www.waterfront.co.za.

Canal Walk (Century City)
Situated off the N1 in the Norther Suburbs Century City is has literally hundreds of shops including all the big high street brands; clothes shops, supermarkets, restaurants, fast food, toy shops, and a cinema.
