Johannesburg

Johannesburg Travel Guide

Jo'burg is the buzzing urban center of South Africa, as the largest city in the country and the growing economic hub of the continent. It's a multicultural hub where languages swirl in the lively streets and you can find everything from tranquil game reserves to the largest shopping center in the Southern Hemisphere. Johannesburg is an urban powerhouse and a flourishing business center attracting executives from around the world. However, it's not a sea of skyscrapers and malls.

Johannesburg is one of the greenest city in the country, a remarkable feat considering the golden savannah surrounding the city. Tree-lined boulevards wind through the city limits, blossoming over city squares and a myriad of museums and galleries. Don't miss the chilling Apartheid Museum that recalls the troubled history of South Africa, then take some time to let loose in the vibrant Gold Reef City. Day-trips from Johannesburg will take you to private villas overlooking tranquil plains, to game reserves abundant with wildlife, to fascinating townships maintaining historical traditions, to tours of fossil parks and reserves and it will take you right into the wild heart of South Africa.
