Sandton: Tourism, shopping and much more!

Forming part of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, Sandton is known as a very affluent area/suburb in South Africa’s Gauteng Province. Its name is the amalgamation of two of Sandton’s popular suburbs, Sandown and Bryanston. Following urban decay in downtown Johannesburg which resulted in numerous corporate offices abandoning Johannesburg’s CBD for Sandton in the 1990s, Sandton rose and expanded and became the new financial district of South Africa and Johannesburg’s premier business centre.

But it’s not all serious business in sleek and sunny Sandton, for there’s also a host of tourist attractions that can help fill the time for locals and visitors. Like the Cumberland Bird Sanctuary in Bryanston that promises a fun-filled family day out. Providing 5.2 hectares of protected area, the sanctuary is home to a rich collection of exotic trees, incredible plants, plus approximately 82 different bird species.

Boosting Sandton’s reputation even further is its many beautiful locations offering a sophisticated vibe. Such as nightclubs, bars, and restaurants, most of which are conveniently located within walking distance from the Gautrain station.

And one of the main attractions in Sandton is Sandton City, which just so happens to be the biggest (and some say most inspiring) shopping mall in the entire Sandton / Johannesburg.

 

 

Sandton: Map for shopping

Located right in the middle of the South African financial district in Johannesburg (the very spot that made this area so famous in the first place), Sandton City Mall is known for many fabulous facts.

Offering shoppers a delightful mix of fashion, food, décor, tech and other services, Cresta houses popular brands like Apple iStore, Coricraft, and Refinery.
