About the destination: Johannesburg is the main point of entry for the majority of tourists visiting South Africa and it's the biggest city. First time visitors might not realise that Johannesburg and Pretoria are only 60km apart, but the two cities are worlds apart, and the contrast is fascinating. South Africa's biggest city is cosmopolitan, quirky and vibrant with fantastic weather and friendly folk. One of Johannesburg's charming traits is that it's a truly international and very cosmopolitan spot. Johannesburg is unapologetically and unmistakably African with enough First World infrastructure to make for comfortable tourism. Newtown and the Market Theatre area are the city's cultural district. Braamfontein, the university area, has a great Saturday market, lively night life, and is very artsy. Don’t miss the stunning Apartheid Museum. The most well-known and celebrated of South Africa's townships is Soweto, the sprawling mix of shanty town and formal housing estates that lies about 30km outside of Johannesburg in Gauteng. Johannesburg offers lots of interesting and often quirky things to do, be willing to scratch beneath the surface and you'll find enough to happily occupy a few days and provide excellent context to help you understand the turbulent history that has made South Africa what it is today.
