Johannesburg is Africa’s third largest city behind Cairo and Alexandria. It is the youngest city in the world to cross the million milestone. Johannesburg is situated on highveld, the central plateau of South Africa. Along with Pretoria to the north and Vanderbijlpark and Vereeniging to the south, it forms the Gauteng province. The province constitutes only 2% of the total area of South Africa, but it is home to 25% of South Africa’s population.
Johannesburg has a rich variety of popular attractions. The Bunny Park is a scenic park with close attachment to nature. You can find a lot of rabbits, geese, ducks, and swans roaming about. The presence of turtles makes it even more lovely. If you want to know about the dark period in South Africa’s history, you can get into the Apartheid Museum. Its architecture is very interesting and it displays some extremely thought-provoking exhibits.
Johannesburg Fort is another destination that enjoys a rush of tourists. This historic fort is an Apartheid era prison museum throwing light into the hardships endured by the people of that era. Top of Africa is an impressive observation deck that gives you terrific views of the city. The locals opine that if the atmosphere is bright enough, you can see Sandton and Pretoria as well. The unforgettable Johannesburg Zoo is relatively close to downtown Jo’burg and houses lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, monkeys and polar bears among others.
