In the last two years Johannesburg has established itself firmly on the international tourism map as an exciting destination. Recent proof of this includes articles in Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, GlobalPost and the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. Only a month ago, USA-based international travel magazine, AFAR hosted its weeklong annual 'experience' for 40 intrepid travellers in Johannesburg. Garner has also seen this trend in the growing interest in his already popular JoburgPlaces inner-city walking tours.
With so much interest in Joziburg and with a whole gamut of new establishments having opened since 2010, Garner seized the opportunity to publish a new, up-to-date and contemporary guide to the city. For this reason Spaces & Places 2.0 - JoburgPlaces contains 221 pages on the inner-city alone, where-as the first Spaces & Places book included only 109 pages on the inner-city.
Spaces & Places 2.0 - JoburgPlaces focus on different Joziburg nodes, providing essential insider's knowledge on how to make the most of your time in this extraordinary city. It puts the spotlight on the extraordinary spaces and places of this bustling metropolis.
By devouring both the text and full-colour photographs in Spaces & Places 2.0 - JoburgPlaces you will be empowered to venture out confidently in order to experience the incredible pulse, people and places of the city. Discover the city's energetic heartbeat and its tranquil havens - ranging from nature areas and parks to cafes on sun-drenched sidewalks.
Garner reveals the spaces and places of Johannesburg's inner-city, its northern nodes, village streets, vibrant townships and verdant suburbs in the quintessential guide to the city. Written in a personal and subjective style, Garner travels with you to his favourite places in the city. In the process, you gain incredible insight into the richness and diversity of the places, people and spaces.
A great benefit to locals and tourists making use of this book is the inclusion of a loose, fold-out map that indicates the locations of establishments in the city - from museums and theatres to delightful restaurants and mesmerising public art. This map also includes suggested walking routes through Joziburg's vibrant inner-city.
