This vibrant market and performance venue is the perfect spot to catch up with friends while enjoying live music and delicious food. Personally, I love taking a morning stroll through the suburb, maybe join a walking tour or explore some of the new shops and businesses before popping into the market for a lazy lunch with live music. They also run regular events and seasonal activities. My favourite is the Sip and Paint sessions run by K.art.243 - it's the perfect way to unleash your inner artist

There’s something to be said for exploring a suburb from a different vantage point. Cycling around gives you an opportunity see and experience parts that you would so easily have missed from a car or may not have ventured to on foot. Thankfully Braamfontein is home to Banditz Bicycle Club. They are best known for their regular social rides in and around various parts of the city. This is a fun, casual way to get out and about while connecting with like minded people.
