    • Victoria & Albert Waterfront is extremely expensive and very commercial! And the local vendors try to rip you off by not displaying the prices! I think that they judge you by the way you look and your accent and raise the prices if you are not from South Africa. The restaurants are also very expensive. And it's definately not a good spot to buy the African art as it's many times more of what you wil pay from vendors on Green Market Square.
    However, it's good spot to do your groceries on Sunday at Pick'n'Pay supermarket as everything else is closed. It's also good to get your cash from ATM as it's safe and open on Sundays.
