We explore some of the things that you can do to make your Valentine's Day celebration in Johannesburg truly unforgettable.

One of the most popular things to do on Valentine's Day is to go out for a romantic dinner. Johannesburg has a variety of restaurants that are perfect for a special evening, ranging from upscale fine dining establishments to more relaxed cafes. 

Some popular options include a four-course wine and food pairing at The Old Oak Restaurant at the Royal Johannesburg & Kensington Club, R1850 per couple, Radisson Red’s ‘Red Hot Love’ four-course dinner experience at Oui Bar on the 14th Feb, R600 pp, or jazz, drinks, and dinner at The Marabi Club in the city centre.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city and spend some quality time with your significant other in one of Johannesburg's beautiful parks. The Botanical Gardens, Emmarentia Dam, The Wilds, and Delta Park are all great options. Pack a picnic basket and enjoy a romantic meal together surrounded by nature.

 

If you and your significant other enjoy art, a visit to one of Johannesburg's many museums or art galleries is a must. The Apartheid Museum, the Goodman Gallery, and BKhz Gallery at Keyes Art Mile, Rosebank are all great options.

Of course, no Valentine's Day celebration would be complete without a special gift for your significant other. Johannesburg has a wide range of options to choose from, whether you're looking for something traditional like flowers and chocolates, or something more unique like jewellery or a special experience. Consider visiting ‘Ditsaladesigns’ for unique and handcrafted  African Jewellery Or ‘The Queendom Collection’ for African luxurious silk-satin scarves for your Queen or King.

Enjoy a bottle of wine with your significant other whilst getting creative on a canvas, The Original Paint Nite is hosting a partner painting session on February 14th, R350 pp.

For a truly unique and unforgettable experience, consider taking a hot air balloon ride over Johannesburg. This is a perfect way to spend quality time with your significant other while taking in the breathtaking views of the city.

Johannesburg is a city that has a lot to offer for couples who are looking to make their Valentine's Day celebration truly special. From romantic dinners and walks through the park, to museum visits and sips and paints, there is something for everyone. 

With a little planning, you can make this Valentine's Day one that your significant other will never forget.

Happy Valentines Day.
