Johannesburg, the biggest town and capital of the province of Gauteng in South Africa, started as a gold mining settlement in the 19th century. Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu once lived in the sprawling township of Soweto. The Mandela House Museum is now Mandela's former home.
The city is awash with excellent exhibits, many giving a deep insight into the tumultuous history of South Africa such as the Museum of Apartheid. Delve into the buzz of a city experiencing an amazing transformation and feel that. Johannesburg looks now to the future with hope. The center is smarter and the building of new loft apartments and office developments is rapid.
Johannesburg – which has traditionally had a negative reputation relative to other cities in South Africa – is not top of many traveler lists, but with a lot of research being done in recent years to rejuvenate the region, that is changing. Johannesburg and its surrounding areas now have plenty of things to do.
Johannesburg has a great scene for food lovers – from trendy fusion restaurants like Urbanologi with its own craft brewery to Maboneng's independent coffee shops and a vibrant Sunday food market called "Arts on Main"
Johannesburg is a land of beautiful landscapes, fine architecture and cultures contrasting with one another. This has a beautifully rich history along with the new squares of the city, which have plenty to sell to tourists. Posh and Luxurious as it seems, Joburg also has ancient gullies deep indoors that remind locals of their old days.
From hipster bars and dance clubs to classic pubs and bar districts, Joburg has it all. The only tricky thing is that nightlife areas are scattered across the city, but this only adds to the variety, which is why we've built nightlife guides to Joburg's liveliest neighborhoods like Sandton, Rosebank, Maboneng and Melville so you can schedule your night out.
