All about Sandton
A posh suburb of Johannesburg, Sandton is famous for its luxury shopping centers, business towers, and upscale bars and restaurants. Most of the buildings in the area are distinctly modern. Sculptural glass and steel structures sit alongside complexes with more classic silhouettes, such as Nelson Mandela Square. With five premier malls, shopping is by far the most popular activity here, with a focus on high-end designer brands. Business is another draw, as Sandton became the Johannesburg Central Business District in the late 1990s and is now one of the most important tech and financial hubs in South Africa.
If you’re looking for a little green space, explore Sandton Central Park with its indigenous trees, fountains, and sculptured reading garden. Afterward, consider heading off to have a meal at one of the area’s chic restaurants with ultra-cool interior design, extensive wine lists, and local produce.
