About Johannesburg

Johannesburg er Sydafrikas dynamiske økonomiske hjerte, en by med stærk historie, livlige townships og kunst, hvor mange safarirejser begynder.

Apartheidmuseet fortæller med stor kraft historien om adskillelse og modstand, og Constitution Hill, et tidligere fængsel, hvor både Nelson Mandela og Mahatma Gandhi var indsat, er hjemsted for Forfatningsdomstolen. I Soweto er Vilakazi Street berømt som gaden, hvor to Nobels fredsprismodtagere, Mandela og Desmond Tutu, engang boede, og Hector Pieterson Memorial minder om studenteropstanden i 1976.
