Johannesburg Accommodation

This industrial center in northeastern South Africa began as a mining town during the 1880s. Gold Reef City , a popular tourist destination, recaptures the rustic spirit of gold rush times. But today, Johannesburg is noted as a sprawling metropolis and the country’s economic nucleus.

Visitors quickly are drawn by the alluring assortment of street vendors selling everything from food to soccer balls. They also are impressed by the city’s greenery; countless trees give Johannesburg the aura of a municipal forest.

Especially notable among Johannesburg’s many attractions are the zoological and botanical gardens, Melrose Bird Sanctuary, Lesedi Cultural Village, Pioneer Park, Lion Park and Melville Koppies Nature Reserve. The 50-story Carlton Centre—Africa’s tallest building—offers a spectacular view from the top. The Apartheid Museum is in nearby Soweto township, which was a center of opposition to the former segregationist government.

Two airports, a rail system and buses serve Johannesburg travelers. Highways link the city with all points in South Africa. Internally, rail, taxi and bus service are available, but rental car is the recommended mode of transportation. Some areas of Johannesburg are unsafe for tourists; basic guidance from travel professionals and locals should suffice to avoid trouble.
