Johannesburg grew from the gold rush of the 1880s into South Africa's largest city. The Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill tell the country's modern story, and a visit to Soweto takes in Vilakazi Street and the Mandela House.
Areas such as Maboneng and Rosebank have galleries, markets and restaurants. Most international travellers pass through on the way to the Kruger National Park, the Pilanesberg or onward flights to Victoria Falls, Botswana and Namibia.
Johannesburg's highveld climate is sunny, with summer rain from November to March and cool, dry winters.
