CBD/Newtown

Lying just west of the CBD is Newtown, an area dominated by the revamped Victorian-era Market Theatre Precinct. Originally a market for Indian traders, this is today a fascinating collection of alternative shops, theaters, galleries, bars and coffee houses. Highlights include Museum Africa, an excellent showcase of individual citizen's contributions to Johannesburg's development, and Gramadoela's African Restaurant, which cooks authentic local dishes. The French Institute of South Africa is also located here. Continue along Bree Street to Fordsburg and find Jo'burg's Little India – the Oriental Plaza. This enormous bazaar consists of 275 stalls selling fabric, clothes, household goods, Indian spices and food. Next door is the Fordsburg Artists' Studios where you can watch artists at work.
