What you can expect

  • Explore Maboneng, a former industrial district in central Johannesburg that has been reborn as a creative precinct of galleries, studios, rooftop bars and street art. Start at Home of the Bean cafe at Arts on Main and set off with your local guide through the high street art corridors of Maboneng and neighbouring Jewel City.

    See world-class murals by local and international artists, and hear the techniques, symbolism and stories behind each piece. Along the way you will meet local artists and learn what motivates their work, as well as the independent creatives who make up this community.

    Your guide also explains the area's industrial past, how it was regenerated, and how art and post-apartheid culture are reshaping the inner city. The tour is easy-paced on flat city streets and runs rain or shine.
