Introducing Johannesburg
Johannesburg, Jozi, Joburg, Egoli, City of Gold. This city of many names and faces is a vibrant commercial and cultural powerhouse and home to over 3.5 million people. As South Africa's largest city and financial capital it is no wonder that visitors flock here for both business and pleasure.
Johannesburg grew from a small nugget of a mining settlement established on the Witwatersrand reef in 1886. From its inception, gold shaped the city's growth and development. Today it sits in the country's wealthiest province of Gauteng boasting not only some of the best shopping centres in Africa, but also the largest man-made forest in the world.
At its heart is the central business district, including Newtown to the west and Braamfontein on its northern outskirts. To its South, Soweto sprawls outwards, offering an intriguing mix of history and culture that has sparked a thriving tourism industry. North of Braamfontein lies Johannesburg's 'other' centre: Sandton CBD. Greater Sandton is home to some of Johannesburg's wealthiest suburbs. The Ekurhuleni Metropolitan Municipality encompasses the suburbs to the east of Johannesburg's heart, including Kempton Park and Benoni. Joburg is an energetic metropolitan laced with fascinating sights, tastes and sounds, whether you want to eat, shop, party, learn, relax, do business or be enriched by Jozi heritage.

Transport in and around Johannesburg, Gauteng
Air
Johannesburg is serviced by two airports - O.R. Tambo International Airport to the east of the city and the smaller Lanseria Airport to the northwest. Lanseria deals largely with domestic flights and is the closest airport to Sandton, Westrand and Midrand. O.R. Tambo sees around 17 million passengers a year from both domestic and international flights. http://www.airports.co.za.
Rail
Construction of a rapid rail link - Gautrain - between Johannesburg and Pretoria is well on its way. Currently, the Gautrain connects O.R. Tambo International Airport with Sandton central business district. www.gautrain.co.za.
Bus
Metrobus covers about 80 scheduled routes throughout greater Johannesburg. www.mbus.co.za. Rea Vaya is a new Bus Rapid Transit system being introduced into the city. It currently runs between Soweto and Johannesburg CBD, with an excellent inner city circular route also in operation. www.reavaya.org.za.
Car
Car rental companies abound at O.R. Tambo International Airport. Although car hire affords greater independence, do expect traffic congestion and extended rush hours. A GPS is recommended for city driving.
Taxi
A number of metered taxi services are available to visitors, but these must be called for in advance rather than hailed in the street. Ask at your hotel for recommended service providers or visit www.corporatecabs.co.za; www.rosetaxis.com and www.cabsforwomen.co.za.
