Johannesburg Experience
Johannesburg is the world's largest city not built on a coastline, or on a lake or river. That's why Joburg is also called the world's biggest 'dry port'. More than half of the cargo that arrives through the ports of Durban and Cape Town arrives at the container terminal at City Deep. Even though Johannesburg is well over 120 years old (founded on 4 October 1886 during the gold rush), it is still one of the youngest major cities in the world.
There is only one other city on the continent that is bigger than Joburg, and that is the bustling metropolis of Cairo in Egypt. Johannesburg is the second biggest city on Africa.

Stop At: Gandhi Square, New Street between Rissik Street and Eloff Street, Johannesburg South Africa
Gandhi Square, named for the Indian leader and human rights activist, is located in Johannesburg’s central business district.Today the main focal point of this busy square is the unique 2.5m statue of Gandhi dressed in the robes of an attorney and it is also among the top Johannesburg attractions. While Gandhi was living in Johannesburg worked as a lawyer, and the site of the present square was also the location for city’s first court building, where the young Gandhi often made appearances.
Duration: 15 minutes
Pass By: Carlton Centre, 150 Commissioner Street, Johannesburg 2094 South Africa
If you want a bird’s-eye view of Johannesburg, the 50-storey Carlton Centre is the place to go. Visitors to the centre can enjoy a panoramic view of the City of Gold from the Top of Africa, as the topmost floor of the building is known: 360 degrees of dense cityscape and outwards towards the countryside and beyond.
The tallest building in Africa and once the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, the Carlton Centre stands 223m high – about 40m shy of featuring on the world’s top 100 skyscrapers list.
Stop At: Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct, 11 Kotze Street, Johannesburg 2001 South Africa
Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s journey to democracy. The site is a former prison and military fort that bears testament to South Africa’s turbulent past and, today, is home to the country’s Constitutional Court, which endorses the rights of all citizens.
There is perhaps no other site of incarceration in South Africa that imprisoned the sheer number of world-renowned men and women as those held within the walls of Constitution Hill.
