Local tip
Go to Mandela Square in the early evening and have a meal outside in one of the many restaurants which look up to the towering statue of Nelson Mandela. Watch as the lights coming on - you'll think you were in first world Europe - far away from the heart of Africa!

Nelson Mandela Square is one of Johannesburg’s most popular and fashionable shopping centres, and its convenient location in the heart of Sandton and next to the equally popular Sandton City, means that it’s almost always buzzing with fashionistas sipping lattés, families catching a quick movie or theatre production, or tourists snapping photographs alongside the giant statue of Nelson Mandela.

As its name suggests, this shopping centre is focused around a square, which is lined with trendy sidewalk cafes, various exclusive restaurants, and a range of high-end stores. There are dozens of attractions in the area, including exceptional hotels and theatres, and you could easily find enough to keep you, your family or your business associates occupied for a day at this exclusive shopping centre.
