👍 ABSA JHB 10km race took kver the city from the square on Heratige day. This was spectacular to see more than 5000 runners dressed in red parading around the city. The Square was a buzz with activities from food and coffee #thesmilingbarista to dancers and entertainment. Look out for this event next...

Westcliff Stairs

Historical landmark

👍👍 Great fun and a good workout! Saturday mornings are busy so get there early, arrived at 6:30 and the stairs were already being well used by the early birds. We felt safe and the atmosphere was a vibe with everyone helping and encouraging each other.

👍 I enjoyed myself here on every occasion that I have visited. Its a fun, lively place of dance, drink and the arts. Recommended for all age groups of adults. Looking to find some hidden gems while having a good meal and a drink, or even a place to have your next shoot at. This is it.

Old Johannesburg Stock Exchange

Historical landmark

👍👍 Nice experience to visit the former trading floor in the Jo'burg SE. Might be a bit tricky to get entrance to it though but talking to people around helped us a lot and we were able to visit without a tour. Building is more in a "dormant" state but still rather well maintained.
