Founded when gold was discovered in the area in the late 19th century, Johannesburg quickly grew into a bustling metropolis, South Africa's largest city and the region's economic hub. On a tour of Johannesburg, you'll encounter a place of contrasts and discover affluent neighborhoods, urban decay, booming art and culinary scenes, and a dynamic atmosphere. Attractions in Johannesburg range from historic museums and monuments of the apartheid struggle, to an array of nearby nature trails, game reserves, and archaeological sites.
