Rosebank Unmissables

Rosebank and its surrounding suburbs bridge Johannesburg’s premier retail districts with expansive green spaces. Sandton City and Nelson Mandela Square provide extensive shopping and dining, while the Rosebank Sunday Market focuses on African crafts and local design. Recreational highlights include the 55-hectare Johannesburg Zoo and the Botanical Gardens in Emmarentia. Cultural and historical depth is provided by the National Museum of Military History, the heritage homes of Parktown, and the historic Melrose Shree Siva Subramaniar Temple, one of the city's oldest Hindu sites.
