Close to the ground.
Victoria Wharf Shopping Centre is the main event on the waterfront and all the shopping mall that you could ever need, with over 400 stores encased in a large, glitzy building. There are numerous designer stores, cafés and restaurants, as well as two cinemas: NuMetro Cinemas (021-419-9700, www.numetro.co.za) that screens a mix of mainstream and independent movies on their 11 screens, and Ster Kinekor Cinema Nouveau ( 021-425-8223, www.sterkinekor.com), which has a more independent, art-cinema bent.
