An eclectic, diverse city filled with everything a millennial local or traveler could ask for, Johannesburg offers everything from trendy bars and pubs, live-local music, quirky restaurants, and bustling streets. Here are some of the up-and-coming neighbourhoods that young adults have begun to flock to in earnest.

Craighall

Craighall, a more suburban part of the city, is close to many of the best shopping centres. At the same time, this neighbourhood calls many independent restaurants, cafés, and businesses home. Check out the small stores on Jan Smuts Avenue for everything from upholstery to framing, all at amazing prices. Warm & Glad and Corner Cafe are popular breakfast and lunch spots, and serve as great out-of-office work spaces. Delta Park, one of the biggest parks in the city, is situated close by and a perfect spot for weekend picnics and winding down.
