Let’s Explore Braamfontein on Foot!

The Playground - The Neighbourgoods Market, just 150m from Once in Jo’burg, is a lively outdoor market open on Saturdays. It offers a diverse selection of food, innovative flavors, craft alcoholic beverages, cocktails, and much more!

Vilakazi Street - Located in the heart of Soweto, Vilakazi Street is renowned for being the residence of both Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, making it unique for hosting two Nobel Peace Prize winners.

Yeoville - Yeoville is one of South Africa’s most diverse suburbs, celebrated for its rich cultural diversity. Known as Johannesburg’s most Afrocentric cosmopolitan area, it hosts numerous African nations within a square mile, offering a fantastic opportunity to savor authentic African cuisine.

Maboneng Precinct - Johannesburg’s regeneration has transformed areas once avoided due to urban decay and crime. The Maboneng Precinct, east of the city, is one such revitalized area.

Maboneng, meaning “place of light” in Sotho, aptly describes a district that has quickly become a hub of creative energy for Johannesburg’s urban artists.

With a blend of restaurants, coffee shops, clothing boutiques, art galleries, and retail and studio spaces, the precinct attracts both the inner-city public and the chic, art-loving crowd from the suburbs, revitalizing this downtown Johannesburg neighborhood. It also boosts Johannesburg tourism among local and international visitors.

Braamfontein - This neighborhood is the city’s student hub. For those seeking Joburg’s vibrant and edgy party scene, Braamfontein (or Braam, as the youth call it) is the place to be. Filled with students, fixie bike hipster cyclists, bearded baristas, street fashion enthusiasts, and young creatives, Braam’s lively nightlife is a stark contrast to the slower pace of the northern suburbs. If you want to stay out past midnight, this is the spot.

Braamfontein - Drama Lounge is the place to be. This club is filled with beautiful people and an amazing vibe, offering a fantastic way to end the night with a bang!

First Sundays

Victoria Yards - Victoria Yards offers a uniquely integrated urban complex that focuses on both social development and commercial enterprise.
