Hidden gem? Not exactly, but you can't miss this one!
I went to Johannesburg for the first time at the beginning of this year. When I was very excited When I told friends I was going to Johannesburg, almost everyone raised their eyebrows. "Johannesburg? Isn't that dangerous and there's nothing to do there?" Well, it's really time to dispel this negative image once and for all. Trust me… Jozi (as I affectionately call Johannesburg these days) is AMAZING!

That's why I shared Johannesburg as my 'hidden' gem on mysouthafrica.nl/jewelsMy jewel, Joburg in South Africa, is secretly anything but hidden. But so unjustly unloved! Via South African Tourism You can now win tickets to South Africa if you share your hidden gem. Never been to South Africa? Don't worry, because you too have a chance to win by voting for your three favorite entries! In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I win the tickets so I can show my lover all the hotspots of Johannesburg.
3 hotspots you must see in Johannesburg!
A comprehensive city guide for Johannesburg will be available online soon on Your Little Black Book. But I'd still like to share some insider tips with you :-).
1) Maboneng Precinct >> Johannesburg's hippest neighborhood with Fox Street as its beating heart. It boasts the lively weekend market 'Market on Main,' the art galleries of Arts on Main, and the trendy restaurants Canteen and Pata Pata. Enjoy cocktails at the rooftop bar, the Living Room!
2) Street Art >> WOW! Johannesburg is heaven for anyone who, like me, loves street art. Maboneng and Newtown are full of the most beautiful murals. The enormous Nelson Mandela artwork is incredibly impressive!
3) The Beach >> Imagine… sipping a cocktail on a rooftop terrace in the heart of Johannesburg's up-and-coming Braamfontein neighborhood, feet in the sand. It's possible in Jozi! And if you're hungry (and it's Saturday!), grab a delicious meal at Neighbourgoods Market. Then dance the night away at Great Danes!
