Discover Johannesburg
Originally a mining town built on the discovery of gold, Johannesburg (also called Joburg or Jozi) is now the largest city in South Africa and the capital of Gauteng. This vibrant megacity is known for being one of South Africa’s major business hubs and a Pan-African economic powerhouse.
Despite its reputation as a working city, there’s more to Joburg than just a well-placed airport and corporate facilities. The bustling city has much to offer in terms of history, culture, shopping, food and a diverse nightlife. Some of the more famous attractions include the Apartheid Museum, Origins Centre, Gold Reef City, Soweto and Maboneng. It is also a convenient starting point for travellers wanting to go on a safari as many of the country’s national parks and reserves are within driving distance from Joburg.
For your return journey, travel beyond with Airlink to other key leisure and business destinations within southern Africa.
