2 Best Places to Shop in Johannesburg, South Africa

The Rosebank Sunday Market, in the parking lot on the rooftop of Rosebank Mall, has become a Sunday tradition in the city. Some 600 stalls sell African and Western crafts by local artisans, antiques, art, handmade clothing, trinkets, bric-a-brac, and more. It's also a great place to fill your picnic basket, with tempting specialties from Greek wraps to Thai spring rolls, and gourmet cupcakes. African musicians, dancers, and other entertainers delight the crowds between the alleyways.

The Welwitschia Country Market sells handmade arts and crafts—which make for great souvenirs—among other gifts and trinkets at around 40 shops and stalls in the shade of giant trees. There are three restaurants and a beer garden with live music on Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. It's especially bustling on weekends, as there is a children's playground area. There is ample free parking and you can find detailed directions on the website.
