Start the week with the Soweto Tour, a full immersion into one of the country’s most historic townships. Walk along Vilakazi Street, meet local entrepreneurs, and feel the township’s energy first-hand. Back at CURIOCITY, Family Dinner sets the tone for the week with shared plates and conversations among travellers. For locals, Majita Monday means stories, laughter, and a laid-back Joburg evening done right.

The Inner-City Walking Tour is where Joburg starts to reveal its layers. Explore the city’s street art, creative hubs, and repurposed buildings while your guide unpacks the stories behind them. Evenings wind down with Movie Night, where guests gather in the common area for local films and cult classics that capture the city’s character.

Midweek keeps the energy balanced. Take another chance to experience Soweto with a local guide or learn about the evolution of your base, Maboneng. After a day of exploring, unwind back at the backpackers for Game Night. It’s time for conversation over drinks and easy competition, a simple ritual that turns strangers into travel companions.

The Inner-City Walking Tour and Evolution of Maboneng return for those who missed them earlier in the week, followed by Karaoke Night at The Hide Out Bar. It’s a spontaneous and joyful evening where locals and travellers sing together late into the night, capturing the spirit of a city that never really sleeps.

Fridays begin with Soweto Tours and end in full CURIOCITY style with Braai Night, House Therapy Sessions, and the Pub Crawl. Expect music, local food, drinks, and conversations that stretch into the night. As Tshepo puts it, “This is where everything connects – the food, the people, the rhythm. It’s the Joburg we live in every day.”

The weekend slows down just enough to explore. Join the Inner-City Walking Tour, spend time at nearby markets, or unwind at Silent Reading, a fortnightly ritual where travellers share quiet moments together. Sundays often include Cycle Tours through the east or another chance to walk through Maboneng’s ever-evolving art scene.

Every day at CURIOCITY Joburg offers a new way to live the city, not just see it. You’ll move through art and architecture, music and memory, guided by people who call this place home. Tshepo sums it up best: “We’re not here to show you Joburg. We’re here to help you feel it.”
