Discover a Vibrant Metropolis

There’s so much to see and do during your holidays to Johannesburg. Known to the locals as Jo’burg or Jozi, the city is shedding its troubled past and emerging onto the world scene as a top-class destination with a real creative spirit.

Speaking of that past, you have to take some during your Johannesburg holidays to pay respects to the city’s often dark past. The Apartheid Museum is a must-see, as is Constitution Hill, a former prison and now a key monument.

Johannesburg is a jumble of neighbourhoods with their own character. Sandton is commericialised and Rosebank is arty and surburban. For a taste of Johannesburg’s heart head to Soweto. This once-disadvantaged area is going through a revival and is home to attractions like the Nobel Laureate Walk where both Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu lived. The Mandela Musuem is here as is Orlando Towers.

Trendy Maboneng is on the up as a must-see hip district. Head to Downtown to stroll along Commissioner Street with its major museums and cultural highlights. Get some laughs with a comedy show – the standup scene here is really thriving.

Enjoy the food too during your holidays to Johannesburg. The city is fast establishing itself as a formidable culinary destination with tons of innovative restaurants, cosmopolitan international flavours and traditional food markets. Get your caffeine fix in one of the trendy coffee shops popping across the city.

In short, this is a city destination not to be overlooked. Let Cassidy Travel help you to get the best deal on your holidays to Johannesburg, simply search and book online.
