Johannesburg is South Africa’s largest city and a vibrant hub for business, culture, and creativity. Known locally as Joburg, it combines modern skylines with leafy suburbs, open-air markets, and a growing collection of museums and galleries. Many travellers use Johannesburg as a starting point for wider adventures across southern Africa.
In recent years, industrial districts have been transformed into lively neighbourhoods with street art, design studios, and weekend food markets. Cafes, rooftop bars, and contemporary African restaurants give you plenty of ways to unwind after a day of exploring. Whether you are in transit, on business, or planning a longer stay, Johannesburg offers a memorable introduction to the region.
