Cape Town → V&A Waterfront: key facts

V&A Waterfront from Cape Town Airport (CPT) by private transfer: €35 per car (1–3 people) or €50 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 23 km via N2, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at (international or domestic arrivals, ground floor of the Central Terminal Building), after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is the working harbour of Cape Town turned into a district of hotels, apartments, shops and restaurants around the Victoria and Alfred basins, with the Clock Tower and the Nelson Mandela Gateway for the Robben Island ferries. From the airport the route follows the N2 (Settlers Way) west to Hospital Bend and Nelson Mandela Boulevard, then skirts the Foreshore and turns into Dock Road at the eastern side of the harbour. The distance is about 23 km, around 25 minutes outside peak hours.

The Waterfront is spread out: the hotels around the Clock Tower precinct, the Victoria Wharf shopping centre, the Silo District with the Zeitz MOCAA museum and the residential marinas each have their own access roads and drop-off points, so it helps to give the exact hotel name. The Cape Town Cruise Terminal sits on the harbour's edge between the Waterfront and the Foreshore. Green Point Park, the stadium and the Sea Point promenade are a short drive west, and the City Bowl lies about 2 km inland.

Public transport: MyCiTi, the City of Cape Town bus network, normally runs route A01 Airport - Civic Centre from the MyCiTi Airport bus station right outside the main terminal, but its official page states that the airport service is temporarily suspended. There is no other direct public transport from the airport to the Waterfront.
