The Rosebank Rooftop Market in Johannesburg, Gauteng, near the Rosebank Mall, offers a distinct atmosphere all its own. Both tourists and residents find it appealing because it breathes and pulses with an African heartbeat. In order to formalize the hawker commerce of regional and international vendors, the Rosebank Rooftop Market was founded in 1993. Today, it is a humming indoor market filled to the brim with beautiful souvenirs and artefacts from all across Africa and South Africa.
Beadwork, carvings, textiles, jewellery, accessories, ceramics, and other works of art are examples of goods. These make for beautiful souvenirs for tourists looking for something to bring home to friends and family.
Many restaurants and more casual eating establishments can be found close to the market, allowing shoppers to take a break from their buying spree and refuel before returning to explore the market.
The market’s 600 or so stalls are each example of the entrepreneurial spirit of Africa. The perfect soundtrack for your shopping experience is live music. The market is open from 9:00 to 17:00 on Sundays and public holidays and admission are free.
