Also known as Jozi, Joburg and eGoli, Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa. Being the economic hub of the country, it has always catered to business. In recent years, however, it has undergone a considerable transformation. The inner city has been completely redeveloped, with a substantial amount of public art and new trendy spaces appearing. Areas like Maboneng boast industrial buildings that have been renovated into chic shopping complexes, rooftop bars and coffee shacks. In Soweto, you can explore one of South Africa’s most important historical areas and be inspired by the legacy of Nelson Mandela and other key activists in the anti-apartheid movement.
