What to do and see in Johannesburg, Gauteng: The Best Things to do Good for Couples

December 4, 2021 Tynisha Seiler

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.

Lindfield Victorian House Museum

(Open by appointment only.) The stories that lived (and still live) within the walls of the Lindfield Victorian House Museum tell a tale of Johannesburg during an era that, more than any other, shaped urban Johannesburg as we know it today. A tale of the day-to-day family life and fashion trends, masters and servants, elegance, high culture, high teas, social etiquette and intellectual achievements. The spirit of this amazing era lives on in the museum and visitors not only learn its cultural history, but also experience the ambiance of a bygone world.

A fascinating experience going back in time - so many interesting things are housed here, and the tour with Miss Love, who lives in and collects the things for this house is a must for anyone interested in history and Johannesburg. Well worth a tour!

Beautiful wild gardens restored to former glory. Sit on the lawns with a picnic basket or explore the hills and look for James Delaney's lazer cut animals hidden between the plants. Stunning views over Jozi from the Sundial.

Apartheid Museum

This museum is architecturally interesting and packed with thoughtful, often brutal, reminders of South Africa’s history.

Reviewed By 208anjav - Sydney, Australia

What an interesting experience.. So much information about the history and issues in South Africa and so well put together. Visiting the apartheid museum, really makes you realise how difficult life would have been for some groups in society and a nice touch is the entrance; one side for whites (blankes) and one side for non-whites !

Hector Pieterson Museum

This tragic museum, opened in 2002, honors the Sowetan schoolchildren slain in a police massacre in 1976.

Reviewed By janephere - Benjamin, United States

A well preserved historical account of extreme brutality against black youth, especially primary and secondary school children who seek to preserve their rights and voices in peaceful manner. Such large scale brutality and crime against humanity where thousands of these children were murdered in cold blood. This is a story of the Soweto uprising, this is the story of infant tears and blood. May the souls represented by those walls rest in peace and bless the land of Africa and its people. I do hope that humanity will never witness this again

Amazing visit and tour of SAB the gentleman in the photo who did our tour was exceptional and provided an amazing tour of SAB and how beer has developed over the centuries. We also had the beer tasting session and he showed us how to taste beer properly which was an amazing experience as you get a completely different taste depending on how you drink beer which we did not realize. Definitely a tour worth doing if you are into beer and in Johannesburg.
