Johannesburg is the gateway to the rest of South Africa with most international flights touching down at Johannesburg International Airport. The upmarket residential and commercial centre of Sandton with its designer malls and boutiques is only 30 minutes away as is the bustling township of Soweto, the largest township in the country encompassing 26 individual townships with living accommodation ranging from shacks to mansions.

Gold Reef City is one of Johannesburg's most popular tourist attractions and centres on a mining village recreated around an old mine shaft where visitors can experience real mining conditions underground and watch gold being poured.
From nightlife and theatre to wining and dining, outdoor adventure, extreme sports and shopping, shopping, shopping Johannesburg is loud, bold and vibrant with something for everyone.

Johannesburg in South Africa is the second largest city in Africa, with more than 3 million people calling this bustling metropolis home. Joburg, or Jozi as some prefer to call it, offers visitors an experience as unique and diverse as the city itself. Whether you are on business, in search of a cultural encounter, an adrenaline rush or simply want to relax and unwind for a few days, the city of Johannesburg has everything you’re looking for and more!

There are many things that are unique to Johannesburg. It features a distinct street entrepreneurship, and motorists can buy things from vendors selling goods at traffic lights, as in many other developing-world cities.
With around 6 million trees, Johannesburg is most likely the world's largest man-made urban forest. The city is certainly one of the greenest in the world, considering that the natural landscape is savannah.
The weather is generally regarded as excellent; temperatures reach the mid-30s Celsius (95°F) in the summer months (Dec-Feb) with little to no wind and with occasional, spectacular afternoon thunderstorms. Temperatures in winter can drop into single digits but snow is extremely rare.
