Johannesburg Shopping

Three upscale malls (Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square and the Village Walk) boast everything from African art to international designer labels.

The wide range of stalls at this huge Sunday flea market offer everything from clothing to home décor to handicrafts and giant Buddhas.

Antiques shops are scattered throughout Melville, but this delightfully cluttered store is one of the best, offering popular names like Wedgewood, Moorcroft, and Royal Doulton.

For a slice of Little India and some of the best bargains in town, visit the Plaza, known for colorful textiles, shoe and clothing shops of every variety, and its authentic Indian bazaar atmosphere.

This revamped shopping district in the trendy Parktown North suburb offers some of the most stylish home décor shops around, including Objekt and Tonic. Take a shopping break at Lulu’s deli for fresh fare or an exotic coffee.

Funky restaurants and fun shops in a spacious courtyard setting. Stop at the African Toy Shop for hand-made African toys from all around the continent (including sought-after wooden Tintin figurines).
