Inside Joburg - 101 things to see and do (Paperback)


There is an ancient Chinese curse that goes, 'May you live in interesting times.' In Johannesburg, this is a way of life - from the frontier town's gold-rush beginnings and subsequent decades of political violence to Joburg now - the economic hub of southern Africa. Built on top of the world's largest gold fields, Johannesburg is always an interesting destination. Inside Joburg is a carefully curated insiders' guide - from the same team that produced the acclaimed bestselling The Joburg Book - filled with unique Joburg experiences to be explored and enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. Inside Joburg takes the reader on a fascinating tour of the city and its surrounds - from ancient meteor strikes to the remarkable fossil discoveries at the Cradle of Humankind, and the people and places that make Johannesburg famous, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and the former townships of Soweto, Alexandra and Lenasia. Inside Joburg also showcases architecture, art, music, festivals, sports, dining out and shopping - and includes a list of Joburg's best green spaces.
