  Recent progress in pushing the sensitivity of the Imaging Atmospheric
Cherenkov Technique into the 10 mCrab regime has enabled first sensitive
observations of the innermost few 100 pc of the Milky Way in Very High Energy
(VHE; >100 GeV) gamma rays. These observations are a valuable tool to
understand the acceleration and propagation of energetic particles near the
Galactic Centre. Remarkably, besides two compact gamma-ray sources, faint
diffuse gamma-ray emission has been discovered with high significance. The
current VHE gamma-ray view of the Galactic Centre region is reviewed, and
possible counterparts of the gamma-ray sources and the origin of the diffuse
emission are discussed. The future prospects for VHE Galactic Centre
observations are discussed based on order-of-magnitude estimates for a CTA type
array of telescopes.
