Nelson Mandela Square is an iconic shopping and dining destination in Johannesburg, South Africa. Located in Sandton suburb of Gauteng, it consists of a European-style piazza with various international restaurants and an outdoor square, or piazza with a 6m-tall statue of Nelson Mandela sculpted by Kobus Hattingh and Jacob Maponyane. The square draws both locals and visitors alike, and is a great place for families to enjoy a meal together alfresco under the African skies. The square offers something for everyone, with 300 shops, sidewalk cafes, theatres and water fountains providing fun entertainment for children. Whether you’re looking for retail therapy or to take in some local culture, Nelson Mandela Square is the perfect place to explore!
