The area has outstanding museums, including MuseuMAfrica, where the exhibits track life in South Africa from the Stone Age to modern times. Visit the Sci-Bono Discovery Centre, a highly entertaining interactive exhibit using the magic of science; and toast your visit with a tour and beer tasting at the South African Breweries World of Beer. Live music venues abound in continually creative Newtown so make your way to Kippies, a world-famous jazz haunt, groove to rock and blues at Bassline, or catch sounds from across Africa at its numerous night spots, preceded (or followed if you´re a night owl) by a traditional meal at Gramadoelas or an upmarket pan-African feast at Moyo´s at the Market Theatre. Community craft initiatives are big here, so visit the Bus Factory craft workshop, and, at the Zasekhaya Market shoppers will find one-of-a kind, South African-made furniture, funky home ware and more. Take a drive over the impressive Nelson Mandela Bridge, the gateway to Newtown, and nearby Metro Mall is a fascinating place to explore local culture, shopping and transport. If you´re seeking a quintessential Jo´burg night out, or wondering where Gauteng´s artistic soul came of age, look no further than Newtown.
