The 10 Best Shopping in Johannesburg, Gauteng
Johannesburg is the place to go to mix big-city culture, shopping, dining and nightlife with outdoor adventures, up-close wildlife encounters and visits to historical sites. Explore caves and nature reserves, or visit a traditional village by day, then enjoy dinner at a hip cafe or five-star restaurant. And if you're a shopper, bring an extra, empty suitcase. With malls, open-air markets and places that blend the two, you'll find plenty of unique souvenirs.

1. Kim Sacks Gallery

Reviewed By KevinC601 - Greater Johannesburg, South Africa
The unusual mud styled facade faces Jan Smuts and behind its tall gate is a treasure trove of most beautiful things. Kim, a really brilliant ceramicist, has curated the very best crafts available in South Africa. My suggestion is to set aside at least an hour to fully appreciate all the items in the various rooms, amazing fabrics from Africa, stunning contemporary and ethnic jewellery (look out for the loom made Marigold beads) to ceramics of all kinds. Highly recommend a visit!

5. Everard Read Gallery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 54 reviews
Reviewed By TennilleG - Johannesburg, South Africa
My favourite thing to do once a month on a Saturday is to visit the Keyes art mile and see what is happening at all the galleries, Everard Read being the oldest of these and also one of my favourites. All of the galleries in this node are very small, but you could easily spend a morning walking from one to the other and stopping for a bite to eat at one of the trendy restaurants along the way. Their exhibitions usually feature local & contemporary artists that are always thought provoking and of excellent world class quality regardless of medium.
6. Market on Main
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 85 reviews
Johannesburg's leading food and design Market, set in the prestigious Arts on Main complex which houses some of Johannesburg's leading Galeries and artist studios. A must see to experience the inner city rejuvenation of Johannesburg. Picnic under the olive trees while enjoying Ethiopian, Moroccan, Chinese, Italian and Indian Food. Don't miss the Bunny Chows, Boerie Rolls and Snoek on Roosterbrood. These typical South African dishes will make sure you leave with a real flavor of what South Africa has to offer. Every Sunday from 10am to 3pm and every first Thursday of the month from 7pm till 11pm.

Really nice indeed. Any type of food you may want, plus quality artwork. Artisanal beer and organic wine, chill out music. Clearly a symbol of gentrificarion, but also one of the rare place where mixity is obvious and natural A pity it opens only once a week.

I love to visit 44 Stanley and then I forget again, so I am surprised how nice it is when I visit again. Great outdoor restaurants with wonderful food. A nice selection of local designers have shops here if you are wanting to buy local, but need a smart or trendy outfit, this is the place. A number of the designers do bespoke work too.
