Many travellers get cheap flights to Johannesburg and use the city as a starting point for their great South African adventure. But this means they often miss out on the vivacious atmosphere and absorbing sights of the country’s largest city.
Brightwater Commons is a popular entertainment spot, built around a man-made lake with bars, clubs, restaurants and cinemas.
In the daytime, if shopping doesn’t appeal (even though you might want to splash the cash you’ve saved on booking cheap flights), maybe a visit to one of the cities’ many art galleries will. The Johannesburg Art Gallery has some fine examples of traditional South African art, while more contemporary work can be seen at The Goodman Gallery.
You could also visit the zoo, the planetarium or watch the nearby dancing Lipizzaner horses, thought to be the oldest human bred horse in the world.
Also near Johannesburg, The Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden features the beautiful Witpoortjie waterfall and grassland intertwined with savanna and over 600 plant species.
