The Canal District links the V&A Waterfront and the Cape Town Convention Centre, with water taxis providing an easy transport option between both points. It also offers the old connection between the city, its waterways and the sea along pedestrian landscaped walkways and bridges. The canal introduces a leisure element with kayaking and stand-up paddling events. Battery Park at the Canal District includes a piazza with paved walkways, benches, a grassed area and indigenous gardens to relax in. Other elements include a skate park, basketball court, eateries and coffee shops.<\/p>\n

With all this and even more on offer, it really is no wonder that the V&A Waterfront joins ranks with Cape Point, Groot Constantia, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, Robben Island and Table Mountain Cableway as Cape Town\u2019s Big 6.<\/p>\n
