Reasons to visit Johannesburg
Brunch and browsing
One of the real gems of Johannesburg’s food scene is the Neighbourgoods Market, where top-quality farm produce is on sale, from fruit and vegetables to steak and fish. But save some space in your basket because, when you’ve stocked up on fresh foods, you can start browsing the handicrafts and organic treats.
If all that shopping has worked up an appetite, you can pick from a number of venues to dine at – whether it’s waffles, burgers or paella that appeals – or enjoy some fresh air on the rooftop with its brilliant views.
Creative culture
Johannesburg is a hub of creativity. Stage plays are a mainstay and the historic Market Theatre puts on highly acclaimed shows throughout the year.
Seek out the latest eclectic style in design and fashion at 44 Stanley, a collection of shops and independent eateries where Johannesburg’s discerning come to browse and dine. For live jazz, arty little studios, galleries and cafes, Arts on Main is creating a buzz, while fine art fans should head for Johannesburg Art Gallery, which houses one of South Africa’s largest and most impressive collections.
A history lesson
Johannesburg played a key role in South Africa’s journey to democracy, and many people who played significant parts in the country’s history lived in the city. Head to Mandela House and find out more about Nelson Mandela, a key political leader in the country, who led the charge against apartheid.
The Apartheid Museum in central Johannesburg is a fascinating centre, telling the dark story of apartheid through immersive and interactive displays and exhibits.

Flying to Johannesburg: FAQs
What is the currency in Johannesburg?

Visitors to the city can tick off the main highlights in a weekend or explore the different districts and number of museums by staying for a week. Start your South African journey in Johannesburg, and then head out on one of the legendary safaris.
What food is Johannesburg famous for?
