Tourist Guide Johannesburg:

Home to the 2010 Football World Cup, Johannesburg is one of the world’s youngest cities and is located in South Africa. It is 58 km from Pretoria, the capital of the country.  

On an average, Johannesburg receives around 12 hours of sunshine in a day. The average temperature is 25°C in summer and 17°C in winter. Nights are particularly chilly, so make sure to bring along a jacket. Also, watch out for rainstorms and the occasional hail.

Owing to a blend of diverse ethnicities, the people of Johannesburg have a very colourful culture. Johannesburg’s population is 3.2 million; the city is regarded as the continent’s most powerful commercial centre as well as the financial capital of South Africa. The city is one of the few metropolitan areas in the world that is not based next to a major sea or river.

I don't know Joburg at all, but I started reading a lot about this enigmatic city. The good stories were quickly starting to exceed the bad things that I heard. This boosted my confidence so much that I've recently bought property in the city CBD without even seeing the property myself and without any problems with my tenants. Joburg should be marketed more extensively as a safe, vibrant city that people would want to be proud of. It represents the economic powerhouse of AFRICA and should be rgearded as such. I love Joburg.

Johannesburg is very exciting and multi-faceted. Explore and look streetwise. And do not miss a visit to the city with the pulse: Soweto. It has wonderful treasures over and above struggle stories. The cbd has wonderful architecture and history. It is the City of Gold, but the golden information is like the gold, it is not lying around in the street. Make sure you get a professional guide for the architecture and history.

The place is Dirty. Marshalltown is better. But Jo-burges and hawkers need to take pride in their city. Taxi drivers should also respect.

Johannesburg is a beautiful city, with a lot of attractions, the only problems are safety, transport and vast distances between areas.

Try have a braai when you are Joburg. The People are pretty friendly. Stay away from dodgy areas, especially at night.
