Johannesburg – The Pulse of South Africa
Johannesburg, or “Joburg” as it’s affectionately known, is the dynamic heart of South Africa a city of contrasts that fuses its turbulent past with an optimistic and vibrant present. As the largest city in the country and a key economic powerhouse of Africa, Johannesburg offers travelers a unique blend of history, culture, urban energy, and art.
