Information

Johannesburg - What to do

There is much to see and do in Johannesburg, the trick is to narrow down the places of interest you'd like to visit, and stick to it, otherwise you could well get side tracked.

Gold Reef City Gold
Reef Rd Southern
Suburbs

Gold Reef City has one foot in the past, providing a reasonably light-hearted take on gold rush Johannesburg. This theme park only offers a token nod to historical authenticity, but provides ample means for filling a spare afternoon, especially for fun seekers.

It features scary rides, a Victorian fun fair and various reconstructions, including a bank, brewery, pub and newspaper office. Visitors can go 220m down a shaft to see a gold mine from the inside (an extra around 50 Rand), and watch a gold pour.

Nelson Mandela Bridge
Newtown

Looming over Newtown is the Nelson Mandela Bridge. Officially opened by Nelson Mandela on 20 July 2003 (two days after his 85th birthday), the 295m, cable-stayed bridge is the longest of its kind in Southern Africa. The bridge is an on-going source of pride and a symbol of the resurrection of the forgotten parts of the city

Mandela Museum
8115 Ngakane St
Soweto

The first stop on most tours is the Mandela Museum. Nelson Mandela shared this tiny home with his first wife, Evelyn, and it is filled with fascinating photographs and collectables. Among the exhibits is a letter from the State of Michigan asking George Bush Senior to apologise for the role the CIA played in Mandela's 1962 arrest.
