Johannesburg’s central business district (CBD) is a fascinating blend of heritage and innovation. Its skyline is punctuated by architectural gems that tell the story of the city’s rich past, now standing alongside some of the most exciting urban renewal initiatives in the country.
Synonymous with business and shopping, Sandton is home to Johannesburg Stock Exchange, as well as 75% of company headquarters located in South Africa. Aside from the banks and gleaming corporate headquarters you’ll find a plethora of hotels, restaurants, bistros, bars, clubs and shopping malls.
Top attractions in Soweto include: Vilakazi Street (the only street in the world which has been home to two Nobel Peace Prize Laureates), The Mandela Family Museum and Hector Pieterson Museum, as well as the Walter Sisulu Square in Kliptown, where the Freedom Charter was signed and adopted in 1995.
Steeped in gold rush history and rich in natural beauty, Joburg West offers a blend of heritage, adventure and suburban charm. Anchored by the historic mining towns of Krugersdorp and Randfontein, the area is dotted with old churches, heritage buildings and reminders of Johannesburg’s early industrial boom.
From gold rush town to Africa's economic powerhouse, Johannesburg's story is one of grit and glamour. Born from the frenzy of gold discovery in the late 1800s, Joburg's early days were marked by rough-and-tumble prospectors and rough-riding outlaws. Fast-forward to today, and this vibrant city has evolved into a hub for business, innovation, and culture.
