Learn more about hotels in Johannesburg

Ranked as an alpha global city, Johannesburg is the most populous city in South Africa, and is located in the heart of the mineral-rich Witwatersrand hills. Rising from a humble gold mining settlement in 1886, today it stands astoundingly tall as the epicentre of the global mineral, gold, and diamond trade. Offering a peek into the world's deepest mines and grandest corporations, like the Anglo-American Corporation, the city stands as a testament to mankind’s quest for glory and prosperity.

Rocked by the tremors of apartheid, Johannesburg braved racial segregation, hosting globally significant events like the Rivonia Trial, featuring Nelson Mandela, and contributing significantly to abolishing regimes that led to its decline. Today, the city continues to blossom with a diverse population, historical precincts speckled across neighbourhoods like Soweto, predominantly inhabited by black South Africans, and Lenasia, predominantly inhabited by English-speaking Indo-South Africans. From towering corporate attractions to the whispers of the past in its townships, Johannesburg truly is a melting pot of vibrant history and culture.

When to visit Johannesburg

With a mild, subtropical climate, the golden city truly shines in all its glory during the dry season, from May to September with comfortable temperatures ranging from 10°C to 25°C.

Furthermore, the school holidays from mid-December to early January also make for a popular time to visit, as the city bursts with boundless family-centric festivities and activities. Whenever you choose to visit, rest assured that Johannesburg will hold you spellbound with its extraordinary appeal.
