Johannesburg

The remnants of its 19th-century industrial past were for years left to rust as the city moved on, but today they are being polished up and assimilated into its new, cleaner image. Johannesburg, an international metropolis, offers the best available entertainment, cuisine and nightlife in South Africa.

Flights to Johanesburg

The Soweto Art Gallery is a must see to experience the collection of artwork from the townships. If you want to learn more about South Africa's history in chilling detail take a visit to the Apartheid Museum. For stunning views over the city take a trip up the ‘Top of Africa' one evening and enjoy the restaurant while you're up there too.

There are numerous activities on offer in Johannesburg including Golf, although it can be expensive for a round and some clubs require you to be a member. There are some great hiking trails around the Suikerbosrand Nature Reserve, and a great way to see the city itself is to take a walking tour around some areas like Sandton, Troyeville, Parktown or Alexandra. Ellis Park, the headquarters of rugby union, is the ideal place to see some rugby on a Saturday afternoon. If you're a cricket fan you cannot miss a trip to the Wanderers Cricket Ground, one of the most beautiful cricket grounds in the world.

The culture of South Africa is also being welcomed and nurtured in the city where once it was shunned. Modern Afrikaans plays are performed in the many theatres, examining the past and future of the country. In amongst the department stores and skyscrapers you can find lively bazaars and street stalls selling everything from "muti" medicine to ethnic snacks. Johannesburg is a place where you can get a 50-cent shave and a 500-dollar haircut within a block of one another - and that makes it a fascinating slice of South African-style urban living.
