Guide to Johannesburg

map
South Africa's largest city, and provincial capital, Johannesburg has a total population of 508,000 people living in its urban area, in spite of being nowhere near a significant body of water. Johannesburg is situated on the high veldt, near the streams which feed the Limpopo and Orange Rivers. The city is South Africa's economic centre, but has a vastly disparate divide between rich and poor. Its central business district has been regenerating since the World Cup, and visitors should check out Top of Africa on the Rand building for a view of the city, or for something quirky, the South African museum of rock art.
