Walking Tours - Newtown City Beat

Newtown has always played a key role in Johannesburg’s economy and identity – now new investment by the City is energizing its transformation into a busy cultural hub. We visit a diverse range of historical and cultural sites. Hear the story of Mary Fitzgerald after whom the central Square is named, and look inside one of the last colonial compounds, now the Workers’ Library and Museum. Museum Africa and the Market Theatre (home of progressive theatre) are housed in what used to be the Fruit and Vegetable Market. And in the old Bus Factory, an exhibition of Beautiful Things (and a great shopping opportunity) is to be found.
