Top 10 things to do in Johannesburg

by admin on May 2, 2011

When you have planned a trip to Johannesburg there are definitely certain things you can not miss. In this article you will read a short list of the top 10 things to do in Johannesburg.

1. Visit the Bedford Centre. The Bedford centre underwent major restructuring in 2006 and the results are simply amazing. After two years of hard work it has become a beautiful, modern shopping, working and living district. Definitely worth a visit!

2. Shop at the Sandton city shopping mall. In Sandton City you will find everything: from the most well known international brands to exciting local boutiques. Sandton city is one of the oldest and most exclusive shopping malls in South Africa; visitors are adviced to bring along an extra empty suitcase on their trip to South Africa.

3. Gold Reef City. This park was built around what used to be the deepest gold mine in the world. There is a little mining town rebuilt and if you are not afraid of the dark you can even enter the mine.

4. Apartheidmuseum. The apartheid (seperateness) has had an impact on South Africa for such a long time that they dedicated a museum to these dark days. It’s a very impressive museum and definitely not a ‘fun’ one, but there is a positive ending: in the last room you will find the new Constitution of South Africa.

5. Sterkfontein caves. Sterkfontein caves (Afrikaans for Strong Spring caves) is the name for several limestone caves northeast of Johannesburg. In these caves they found remains of Hominidae of over four million years old. This is the birth place of mankind.

6. Mai Mai market. Do you have a cold that won’t pass? Go to the Mai Mai market! This market has nearly 200 stalls that all focus on traditional healing methods. Dried parts of animals, typical brews, amulets and prayers help the sick people to recover.

7. Soweto. Nowadays the black township Soweto is a tourist attraction. Get to know the life of the black community, visit a typical bar and see the houses of Nobelprize winners Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu.

8. Ghost Bus Tour. During this four hour bus tour you will hear the terrifying stories about murderers and ghosts. These Ghost Bus Tours are so scary that people under the age of eighteen can’t attend them.

9. Hector Pieterson museum. Hector Pieterson was a 12 year old boy who was shot during the student riots of 1976 in Soweto. The museum isn’t necessarily dedicated to this boy, but more to the happenings of that day and what lead to the Soweto uprising.

10. Johannesburg Zoo. In the zoo of Johannesburg you make a journey around the world. The zoo is divided in different climate areas: the heart of Africa, the jungle of South America, a spice route and a polar- and desert area.
