The Iconic Green Point Clock Tower: A Historical Gem in Cape Town

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're in the V&A Waterfront area, head towards the main entrance of the V&A Waterfront. Once outside, walk straight towards the large green park area known as the V&A Waterfront's Battery Park. Keep the water to your left and walk along the promenade. Continue along the promenade until you reach the end, where you will see the Cape Town Stadium to your right. From here, turn left onto Granger Bay Boulevard and follow it until you reach the traffic circle. At the traffic circle, take the first exit onto Beach Road and continue walking until you see the Green Point Clock Tower on your left on Cavalcade Rd.

• Public Transport (MyCiTi Bus)

  If you are near the Cape Town city center, walk to the nearest MyCiTi bus station, such as the Civic Centre Station. Purchase a MyCiTi bus card and load it with funds. Board the bus heading towards the V&A Waterfront. Disembark at the 'V&A Waterfront' stop. From there, walk towards the entrance of the V&A Waterfront, then follow the promenade as described previously towards Green Point Clock Tower. Alternatively, you can take the bus to the 'Green Point' stop and walk a short distance to the clock tower.

• Bicycle

  For a more active option, you can rent a bicycle from one of the many rental shops in the V&A Waterfront area. Start at the V&A Waterfront and cycle along the promenade towards the Green Point area. Follow the same route as the walking description, keeping the water to your left, until you reach the Green Point Clock Tower on Cavalcade Rd.
