Johannesburg
Johannesburg is a cultural hub. It rests at the epicentre of the small province of Gauteng. The economic engine of South Africa.

It is redefined by cultural expression, colourful culinary experiences and a thriving creative scene and arts emporium which defines Johannesburg today. Truly a modern and contemporary Pan African city.
Johannesburg is a city full of rich history emerging from the shadows of apartheid. It has undergone an astonishing rebirth. Its new cultural life has never been as dynamic, as it is now. Jo’burg was once considered a no go city and a place to avoid. But now Johannesburg is one of the most intriguing and most hip & happening metropolises in the world.
It is unlikely you will be the victim of crime. Even though safety is a major concern. Especially in the inner city of Johannesburg. However like any major hub in the world, you need to take precautions. Be aware of your surroundings as petty theft, pick pocketing and muggings in unsavoury areas of the city is fairly common.

Safety is of course an issue in certain areas of the city. As a tourist, just use common sense. Don’t leave your belongings unattended. Keep your valuables out of sight. However that doesn’t mean you should ever feel unsafe in Johannesburg.
