A nice spot to get the Christmas feeling.Beautiful lights, accessible parking just next to the lights hotspot and number of security guards that gives a good security hopefully!Nice for kids to see nice Christmas decorated animals.A few nice statues/sculptures.Can be great to add more art pieces and benches for visitors to sit.

Doesnt feel like Joburg. This place has the vibe of a European city square. Plenty of good eating options. Trendy stores. The Christmas lights have added an ethereal feel to the place.

Just sharing some photos of the Christmas lights at Melrose Arch which we visit every year. Always fun for children and something to do during this lockdown period.Safe parking, some good restaurants (sadly many have closed) and probably the only Woolworths where theres no queue! 😂

Safe. Parking is usually in the basements. You’ll hardly find parking in the streets. Parking is fairly cheaper. Loads of restaurants. Walk around before you pick a restaurant so that you won’t regret

Tranquility, cleanliness and other positive things at its best. Theres low commotion (obviously because of the high status of the place) and quality stores youll rarely find at a township or town CBD mall. Its an option for those who want to enjoy shopping without even waiting for someone to pass.N.B ensure that you are pocket safe before visiting & you wont regret a single penny spend.Im still thrilled seeing Starbucks coffee joint here. It was my first time seeing it.

We went for the Christmas lights. Fantastic fun for the kids, with plenty of picture opportunities. It was a little crowded though as it was a single road where most of the lights were. Lots of restaurant and shopping options (although only the food and drinks options are open in the evening).

Beautiful Business district composed of hotels, business offices, restaurants, banks and many more. It has an awesome vibe and energy with people from all walks of life mixing, transacting, collaborating, socializing, enjoying a meal and entertainment. Melrose is well managed and very secure even in the evening. There is plenty of shops for a variety of things and restaurants like my favorites Moyo’s, JB’s corner and many more. It’s a wonderful place to entertain guest from other provinces or international travelers. It’s easily accessible from the M1 highway and 30min away from OR Tambo airport.

One of the absolute pleasurable experiences to be had in Johannesburg. The district has a very heavily European town flair/influence sometimes you forget that you are not actually walking on a promenade in Europe somewhere. Excellent restaurants, I highly recommend paying Melrose Arch a visit.

Loooooooved the Christmas lights. Bar the fact that it was warm and light waaaaaaay past 4pm, this could have been any cool high Street in the UK. Lots of good shops and restaurants to choose from. Drinks are pretty expensive, especially imported drinks - Corona was the same price as it is in the UK, but food and coffee is a pretty standard price. Had dinner at Moyo which was divine :D

This shopping complex is very similar to the V & A Waterfront development in Cape Town. Obviously without the sea!Generally upmarket and caters for kids. Almost every type of product is available. The reason for 4 stars is parking is always an issue.

Treat yourself and your family to this years (2019) Christmas lights. It is amazing. Stroll around the street and have dinner and a drink at one of the many Restaurants they offer. There are Restaurants to suit every budget. And if you get there early you can still do a bit of Christmas shopping in the Mall. A nice summers evening outing for the whole family. Plenty of safe parking.

This is honestly one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to, I love it so much. It is European style and such a safe place to be no matter what time. They have many different shops including clothing and shoe shops, to art museums and beautiful restaurants and top hotels. It is always so lovely there and beautifully decorated with many things to see, it is specially beautiful at Christmas time when they put lights everywhere and make it look like a Disney dream come true.

Always a pleasure coming to this business centre. Just love the way theyve blended business offices, fine dining places and positioned at a very accessible spot just off the free way.Parking is never a problem here and quite affordable in comparison to other places.The place is secure with security officials all around the place and always wonderful to walk around the area.

Thoroughly enjoy Melrose. Its well maintained, has a ton of parking, which can be a bit confusing if you dont know the center but there are signs on the walls and hanging up. Can be problematic if it rains as it is a lot of open air shopping/dining with some sections inside, however the walking sections are reasonably well covered. Decent variety of chain and boutique shops which are in general quite large with a good variety of items. The center is also well maintained.

An amazing spot, Christmas is done so beautifully at Melrose Arch. The decorations are beautiful at night and the Christmas spirit is so real as people take pictures next to the Christmas decorations.The Christmas walk bridge is the best, with people walking hand in hand under the bright and colourful various lights. The ambiance is fun and light.The restaurants have so much to offer. A great place to go out for dinner with family and friends. Nothing short of variety and class.

If you are looking for an upmarket outing with quite a trendy crowd, this is the place to be. Plenty upper class folk with the odd sighting of local news makers and celebrities. Fantastic choices of restaurants to choose from with plenty parking space. The night time entertainment is a bit limited with the stand up comedy bar probably being the best indoor entertainment. If you are looking for something more outdoorsy, Moyos restaurant usually has their big screen on in the courtyard. There are quite a few hotels and apartments if you are looking for accommodation in the area, book months ahead for the festive season! There are also several office spaces and office blocks available if you would prefer to work in this sort of environment, none of it comes cheap though. Overall its a nice place to be at.

Lovely upmarket area with open air access to shops. Typical European Street shopping environment. Pavements are large, can walk in some roads as traffic gets closed off at certain days and times of the week. Over Christmas time it gets beautifully decorated with lights and decor. During the year there are various club get-togethers, where the crazy petrol heads can view some sports cars.

Beauty. Variety. International. These are the three words that come to mind when experiencing Melrose Arch. Melrose offers a wide range of Restaurant options, shopping destinations and entertainment options for the kids. The atmosphere is relaxed but eyes will feast on the many beautiful shopping windows. Glamour surrounds you in every direction.

Lots of shops and restaurants. There seems to be something for everyone. Great place for work lunches, casual dining and shopping.Just make sure you know which parking to park at based on where you want to go... It can get confusing and may warrant an extra long walk if you choose the wrong parking...

Melrose Arch is an upmarket place having good shops and cafés and restaurants. This is the place which will make you feel like your are sitting in Europes Markets or on London Oxford Street. The whole shopping experience in this place is awesome. Check it out if you are in Johannesburg. Thanks

I visted Melrose for a friends birthday and I am still in awe to this day.This small area of perfection was beautiful! With surrounding stores all around and a subtle busyness this place is perfect for lunch or dinner (as the setting of the sun makes the scenery even more magnificent).I honestly fell in love with this place.

Very much an upscale place. Beautiful architecture and design as you walk through the streets from shop to shop. There are a lot of clothing stores and fancy restaurants for your every taste. A fun visit if you are in the area, but it can be expensive.

Awesome Xmas lights! Great outing for the kids. Ocean Basket service was a bit slow but the waiter was very friendly. The hosts and managers could have managed and helped the waiters a little better. Focus was turning over tables.

Must visit in Johannesburg. Little Italy comes to Jozi. One of my personal favourite outdoor dining places. The mix of indoor and outdoor is well thought out. Ultra modern with all the big brands. With head offices, luxury apartments,retail heaven, 2 hotels a world class gym and more....Melrose is simply a lifestyle.
