Compare car hire in Johannesburg
A dynamic city that’s one of South Africa’s cultural capitals, Johannesburg is known as ‘Joburg’ or ‘Jozi’ to locals. SA’s largest city has 5.6 million inhabitants in its boundaries and 14.1 million inhabitants in its wider urban area (shared with Pretoria), it’s the capital of Gauteng province and the seat of the highest court in the nation, the Constitutional Court. Nicknamed ‘The City of Gold’, its population swelled from a handful upon the discovery of the precious metal in 1886 to over 100,000 just 10 years later. An ever-evolving city with a positive, future-facing attitude, it’s undergoing an aggressive urban development transformation, with trendy neighbourhoods like Maboneng set to rival older areas like Sandton in terms of prestige and popularity. Jozi is riding the exciting wave of a cultural renaissance – there’s never been a better time to visit. Hiring a car in Johannesburg is easy with Enjoy Travel and there are lots of great deals to choose from. For example, a Suzuki Swift is around £15 a day if you book ahead of time, a nippy Kia Picanto is £20 a day and a Volkswagen Polo Vivo is just £25 a day.
Guide to Johannesburg
A diverse and dynamic city, Johannesburg’s eclectic inhabitants speak a number of languages, including Chinese, Urdu, Hindi, Xhosa, Zulu, Afrikaans and English. You’ll see plenty of contemporary buildings here, but it has a light and airy ambience in many quarters, thanks to the huge amount of trees planted by city planners – there are 10 million in all! Often overshadowed by its more photogenic rival Cape Town, Johannesburg is finding its feet as a tourist destination and has much to recommend it.
Things to do in Johannesburg
Home to South Africa’s biggest township, Soweto (a contraction of ‘South Western Township’ and site of Nelson Mandela’s family house), has a chic café scene and is the country’s nightlife capital. You can enjoy live performances here from local and international artists, socialise in bustling bars and dance the night away in vibesy clubs. For something a little more relaxing, browse its many markets for the finest food, wine, homeware and traditional crafts.
Eating out in Johannesburg
There are plenty of top-notch restaurants in this cool city. Try Café del Sol for immaculate Italian dishes, DW 11-13 for haute cuisine and District Six Eatery for authentic local food served in historical surroundings.
Transport in Johannesburg
Public transport in Joburg is becoming more reliable, with the likes of the Rea Vaya bus service and Gautrain rapid-rail, but the swiftest and safest way of getting around is definitely by car.
