Is a holiday rental in Johannesburg worth it?
A holiday apartment in Johannesburg offers you the perfect combination of independence and comfort. Enjoy Fascinating culture and experience Johannesburg like a local – with your own retreat after an action-packed day.
Johannesburg, affectionately known as Jozi or Joburg, is South Africa's largest city and a fascinating melting pot of cultures that is rapidly reinventing itself. The city, which was once founded during the gold rush, has transformed into a creative hub with a vibrant nightlife, innovative gastronomy, and a lively art scene.
The Apartheid Museum is one of the most impressive museums in the world, telling the story of racial segregation and its overcoming with shocking intensity. Soweto, the former township where Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu lived, is now a vibrant neighborhood full of energy — Vilakazi Street is the only street in the world where two Nobel Prize winners lived. The Mandela House Museum is a moving place of historical significance.
Maboneng and Braamfontein are the creative heartbeats of the city: galleries, street food markets, design studios, and rooftop bars have transformed once-decaying industrial areas into trendy hotspots. The Rosebank neighborhood offers the Sunday Rooftop Market with local art and delicacies. From Johannesburg, one can reach Kruger National Park for safari experiences in just a few hours by car. The best time to visit is from April to September during the mild winter.
What are the highlights of Johannesburg?
The most moving museum in South Africa tells the story of racial segregation from the inside – you enter through separate entrances ('Whites' / 'Non-Whites').
The township where the anti-apartheid movement began: Mandela's house on Vilakazi Street, Hector Pieterson Memorial, and authentic shebeen bars.
Joburg's coolest neighborhood: converted warehouses full of galleries, craft markets (Arts on Main), restaurants, and start-ups.
The former prison where Mandela and Gandhi were incarcerated is now home to the Constitutional Court – a symbol of change.
The 'Cradle of Humankind' (UNESCO) is located 50 km west: Sterkfontein Caves with 3.3 million-year-old fossils – this is where human history began.
