From world-class museums to street art, lively markets, and a food scene influenced by its multicultural heritage, there’s something for everyone in this unforgettable city.

A Brief History

Johannesburg was founded in 1886 after the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand, which sparked a gold rush and transformed the area into South Africa’s largest city. Over the years, it has grown into a symbol of resilience and progress, with significant roles in the country's social and political evolution, including the struggle against apartheid.

When Is the Best Time to Visit?

Thanks to its high altitude, Johannesburg enjoys a pleasant climate year-round. The best months to visit are generally from March to May and September to November, when temperatures are mild and rainfall is minimal, perfect for exploring the city comfortably.

Do I Need to Worry About Safety in Johannesburg?

Like any large city, being aware of your surroundings is important. Stick to well-known attractions, follow local advice, and avoid walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas. Guided tours can offer a safe way to discover the city’s highlights.
