I came for Jazz fest but I really enjoyed walking around. The view and shops are worth returning to.

Nice walk. Plenty of places to grab a bit to eat. The fish market was big with plenty of interesting seafood you normally wouldn't see. Took a round trip on the water taxi to Alexandra which was relaxing after alot of walking. You can rent boats, paddleboards and kiacks..
