Every month we look back at the most popular features on the Johannesburg In Your Pocket website to bring you the past month’s biggest highlights in case you missed ’em.
TRENDING IN MARCH: As the Easter holidays draw closer lots of our readers were looking for ideas on where to travel locally for the holidays and some fun days out to entertain the family. Meanwhile, with more events allowed again under the Level 1 lockdown our What’s On events guide has also been especially popular.
Here’s a look at the biggest new features that captured our reader’s attention this month.
Gauteng weekend getaway ideas
From the Big 5 Dinokeng Reserve to the great expanses of the Vaal, there’s much more to Gauteng than its two main cities Johannesburg and Pretoria. As part of our ongoing series of guides to holidaying in and around Gauteng, we look at six places to visit for a Gauteng getaway – and what to do when you get there. Plan your next Gauteng break here.
A Halaal guide to Joburg
Joburg has a large and diverse Muslim community, and while historic neighbourhoods such as Fordsburg and Mayfair still offer the widest selection of halaal options, you can enjoy halaal dining in other corners of the city too. We’ve rounded up the best places to eat halaal in Joburg here.
Where to eat out in Craighall Park
Continuing our spotlight on where to eat out in Joburg’s different suburbs (check out our Parkhurst, Parkview , Parkwood, Melville and Greenside guides) we took a look at what’s happening in Craighall Park. We found that though it lacks the colourful high streets of the other Parks suburbs, it more than holds its own when it comes to to eating out. Here’s our favourite places to eat out in Craighall Park.
Weird and wonderful Gauteng attractions
We love off-beat attractions and when it comes to wacky and wonderful museums, Gauteng has loads. As part of our Gauteng travel guide series, in partnership with Gauteng Tourism, we took a look at some favourite quirky attractions that you might not know about. Take a look here and start planning your next day trip.
Great spots for coffee and a hike
For our March coffee column, our columnist JoziCoffeeSpots took to the trails in search of places to enjoy a great barista brewed coffee after your next country walk or hike. Check out the hikers guide to local coffee shops here.
