Do you enjoy shopping while on the road, but aren’t a huge fan of busy malls and crowded local markets? Johannesburg has just a place for you – urban district 44 Stanley Avenue, that’s perfect for fans of retro stores, cafés, and restaurants.
44 Stanley was born when a former 1930s industrial complex ended up being transformed into Johannesburg’s no. 1 boutique shopping destination. Even if you don’t intend to buy anything at all, you should pay a visit to this spot since it’s unlike anything else you’ll get to see in this South African city.
44 Stanley is located on the edge of the city’s downtown and it consists of a series of interlinked courtyards. They’re filled with more than 25 boutiques, restaurants, cafés, and tiny galleries, making this tourist spot a perfect place to enjoy everything from shopping to fine dining.
44 Stanley was created with one goal in mind – fusing downtown urbanism with subtle sophistication. It’s a perfect place for everyone who wants to escape the bustle of the city and enjoy a unique retro oasis during their time in Johannesburg.
