Johannesburg Makes A Perfect Getaway Destination


Johannesburg is known best for the rich history of gold mining, so much so that it is also known as the 'City of Gold'. It is considered to be the financial capital of South Africa and is one of the nation's largest cities. With it's modern city centre, shopping malls and sky scrappers it is little surprise that Johannesburg is one of South Africa's largest tourist attractions, not just for those visiting from other countries but thanks to cheap flights from Durban to Johannesburg and also from Cape Town to Johannesburg, many South African visitors also make short trips to the city when they find themselves in need of a break.

Just some of the major attractions which draw people to Johannesburg include the Gold Reef City – a historically accurate reconstruction of a gold rush town – and Johannesburg Zoo. The majority of visitors also make the effort to climb all the way to the top of the Africa skyscraper for some spectacular views and to sample the cuisine at the famous rooftop restaurant. After lunch, you might want to take in Gandhi Square and Nelson Mandela Square which are both surrounded by interesting places to visit.

Johannesburg is a city with a great deal to offer all who visit, whether you are interested in historical sites, fine dining or just natural beauty you will find plenty to enjoy. There are regular domestic flights and international flights arriving and departing Johannesburg International Airport on a daily basis – so why wait? Get busy and start researching the cheapest flights from South Africa and start planning a holiday you will not soon forget.
