Well, those old warehouses have been refurnished into a thriving marketplace while maintaining their original character. The Sheds are now a lively marketplace of artisanal food and produce market, surrounded by eateries and bars. When we went there, it was full of stands selling cupcakes, fresh juices, coffee, ice creams, chocolates, donuts and other desserts\u2026 it was lively and crowded with\u00a0young people, mostly Afrikaners.\u00a0We just loved this place, it was so hip, so unexpected! It really made us remember the Netherlands, and how much do we like the Netherlands. This is one of those places we\u00a0would never know it existed unless a local told us, or we got really lucky and found by chance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It\u2019s located\u00a0close to the confluence of the M1 and M2 highways, just off the Selby off-ramp into town, and a short distance south of the Nelson Mandela Bridge. You can get there by Gautrain or Bus (Westgate Rea Vaya bus station). It\u2019s fully open on weekends from 10 Am to 5 Pm. We can\u2019t imagine a better place in Joburg to grab a coffee or have a cool late weekend breakfast!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"891\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6861\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"891\" height=\"668\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 891px) 100vw, 891px\"><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sterkfontein_Caves\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sterkfontein_Caves\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Sterkfontein Caves<\/strong><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Sterkfontein Caves<\/strong> are part of a group of caves and excavations called \u201ccradle of mankind\u201d\u00a0and is\u00a0a World Heritage Site.

The caves are open seven days a week and there are tours starting every thirty minutes. The adult ticket is only roughly 12\/13 USD. The caves go quite deep with a few narrow and low passages, there\u2019s even one where you have to crawl to pass. On the bottom of the cave, there\u2019s an underground lake that no one knows how big it is because it was never fully explored.\u00a0This makes the tour quite a cool and fun experience, we had never been to such big caves but really liked these. \u00a0On top of\u00a0everything, you get to learn a little about archaeology and anthropology\u00a0which makes this visit\u00a0even more interesting.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"845\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-520x386.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6862\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-300x223.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"845\" height=\"628\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-300x223.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7-520x386.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg7.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 845px) 100vw, 845px\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"favourite-holder-1302\" class=\"favourite-holder\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lesedi_Village\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lesedi_Village\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Lesedi Village<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lesedi Village<\/strong> is a cultural site, where you can be in touch\u00a0with the history of the different South African tribes characterized by actors.

You can interact with the different type of villages and learn about their habitats, costumes, greetings, traditional food\u2026 You can learn a lot from the village: why Pedi tribe wear\u00a0Scottish skirts\u2026? Who was Shaka Zulu\u2026? Why the Ndebele women wear so many clothes\u2026? In the end, there is a big spectacle of music and the dances of the different tribes that is amazing. You can eat in the park and try local specialties, we ate crocodile and ostrich meat which\u00a0were quite nice. If you want, you can spend a night in the park in one of the tribe\u2019s houses.

We drove around Pretoria a little bit, both to get a feel of\u00a0it and also\u00a0trying to\u00a0find our hotel, which took longer than usual\u00a0:). We found Pretoria to be quite ugly, very messy and bad traffic and suburbs were very poor. It was one of the rare\u00a0times that South Africa made us\u00a0remember the poor side of Angola. The hotel has a great view over the gardens, a fantastic restaurant and breakfast, but it was quite old. It was our first and only time in 5 stars hotel. Despite liking it we didn\u2019t find it breathtaking, but then again it was quite cheap for a 5 stars hotel. \u00a0We enjoyed a nice morning walk through the gardens until the Union Buildings, and around them. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Union_Buildings\">The Union Buildings<\/a> are very imposing, 285 meters long, made of sandstone in English monumental style, and are the center and the symbol of political life in South Africa.<\/div>\n<div class=\"favourite-holder\" style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u00a0<noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-300x118.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"908\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-768x302.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-520x205.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-300x118.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"908\" height=\"357\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-300x118.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-768x302.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama-520x205.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/800px-Pretoria_Panorama.jpg 800w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 908px) 100vw, 908px\"><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_the_Voortrekker_Monument\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Visit_the_Voortrekker_Monument\"><\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Visit the Voortrekker Monument<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Finally, and before returning to Johannesburg we went to the\u00a0Voortrekker Monument, this is definitely a top thing to do in Joburg! The monument\u00a0is a tribute to the pioneers that came from the Cape Colony to the interior of South Africa looking for fertile land,\u00a0these were the \u201cVoortrekkers\u201d. The monument itself is a huge granite structure located on a hilltop. It is 40 meters long, wide and high. On the lower level, there\u2019s a cenotaph, which is an empty tomb that symbolizes the dead pioneers. You can also go to the top of the building and enjoy the beautiful view of Pretoria and surroundings. To the inside, you can look straight down to\u00a0the lower room. We can\u2019t actually figure why\u00a0but the height was very unnerving. Much more than it was supposed, it\u2019s \u201conly\u201d 45-50 meters.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-6898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"913\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-768x469.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-520x318.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter wp-image-6898\" src=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-300x183.jpg\" alt=\"Top things to do in the Joburg area\" width=\"913\" height=\"557\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-300x183.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-768x469.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1-520x318.jpg 520w, https:\/\/www.traveldrafts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/Joburg3-1.jpg 1000w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 913px) 100vw, 913px\"><\/p>\n<p>Joburg is also a place to go to those who love partying!\u00a0If you want to test\u00a0<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.vibescout.com\/za\/sandton\/clubs\">Johannesburg Nightlife<\/a>\u00a0we recommend\u00a0particularly the Sandton area, with its opulent clubs, bars and wild nightlife.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">All in all, despite the northern Johannesburg area not being the most touristy place in the world, we had a good time, learned about\u00a0South African history and culture, had our dose of adrenaline and even went to explore caves.
