Johannesburg is an African city of note. Johannesburg is characterized by the apparent contradiction and a perfect combination of irreconcilable differences. The largest city in South Africa, Johannesburg is also the wealthiest and, without doubt, the economic engine of Africa.

It is a booming city and passes the focus is on money - whether in business or in the streets - and has been since its beginnings when the world's richest fields of gold were discovered at Johannesburg in the 1880s. For the first time visitor Johannesburg, Jozi, or as is more commonly known, can be a little intimidating, especially since the misrepresentation by the media in Johannesburg as something of a war zone. It is a crime, you should keep your wits about you, but once bitten by the atmosphere of Jozi, you'll want to return.

The area near the Town Hall and Newtown Cultural Precinct, which has completely transformed the Market Theatre and surrounds, now forms the heart of urban renaissance, and downtown Johannesburg is the largest employment center South Africa.

But it is the spreading of the leafy suburb of north - there are more than six million trees in Johannesburg - which attracts the visitor: buzzing, trendy suburbs such Parktown and Norwood, with its restaurant-lined avenues that meet all dining and decor, high street Greenside so easily slipped the mantle of hip chic trendy Melville (mind venturing a little further in Yeoville - Jozi Greenwich Village), and the huge malls of Sandton, most of which are within walking distance of hotels Johannesburg - especially the Don Suite Hotels, all combine to make the city an ideal place to be.

Although not presented as a town in the open, there is, nevertheless, a number of parks and nature reserves, as Emmarentia Dam and the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden, which are worth a visit. The Magaliesberg is right at your door and you are very well placed for adventures a bit further, as the Kruger National Park Parks and Lowveld.
