An entrepreneurial culture and the energy of a youthful city combine to keep Joburg, as this city is often called, continually filled with new restaurants and bars vying for popularity. The best hotels are found in Sandton and the best guesthouses in areas like Rosebank and Edenvale.

As a city founded on the site of the biggest gold reef in the world, the Witswatersrand, Johannesburg has a historical side too. The gold rush began in 1886 and set in motion Johannesburg's vital role in the economic and political history of Southern Africa. Visit the Apartheid Museum near Gold Reef City for a powerfully emotional journey through the modern history of this city. The Johannesburg Art Gallery is another opportunity for visitors to get a sense of the history of this city - and how its fortunes have ebbed and flowed. For a more entertaining view into what the hustle and bustle of a goldrush town must have been like it's worth visiting Gold Reef City where you can enjoy interactive displays on gold mining and themed funrides.

Jozi, as the city is also sometimes called, is also an influential centre of culture in South Africa. Arts and entertainment are a centerpiece of the Johannesburg lifestyle - no trip to this city is complete without seeing a play or live music performance. Montecasino is a great place to visit for a live show - and also offers gambling to round off your evening! To experience another part of Jozi city life you should visit Soweto and Alexandra - both former townships during the Apartheid era. Today they are thriving suburbs of the city and have a vibrant nightlife and commercial hubs. If you're looking to explore further afield in South Africa then Joburg is a great base - Pretoria is close enough for a daytrip and the amazing Kruger National Park is close enough for a relaxed weekend getaway.
