Regardless of all the rumours there are of Johannesburg, I still think that its a fantastic city. There is so much to see and do, its culturally diverse, and very cosmopolitan.
Its one of, if not the richest city in Africa.
My favourite suburb is Sandton, very happening area, with fantastic shopping malls, trendy bars, and restaurants that cater for all tastes.
So next time you only think of having a stopover in Jo'burg, stay for a night, and see how much you like it.
- Pros:Lots to see, and do, fantastic restaurants, good shopping
- Cons:Its still got a bad reputation at times
- In a nutshell:Go see it for yourself.

Sadly..Smith & Wolensky has closed. The Eastgate branch still operates. Was one of my favourites too.
I enjoyed seeing Jo'burg through your eyes, Gareth. I will be there again in Dec. of this year and look forward to it. It's nice to see someone write positive things about the city. Diane
do you know when gold reef city opened?
Hi, you have a great Johannesburg page. I was there in June & I loved the city. So vibrant & modern. Ciao!

Hi Gareth! I'm glad you enjoyed my Dubai-tips :-) lemme know if there's anything specific you'd like to know for your visit in Sept.! I also enjoyed your tips on Jo'burg - great photos & personal insights :-) Jess
