Top Three Things To Do & See In Johannesburg

Joburg Admin / July 28, 2021

Gold Reef City

Gold Reef City is around 8km away from the centre of the city and it takes you back to the gold rush days. You’ll soon find that there is a thrilling theme park and that there are also many family-friendly attractions as well. If you want to have a bit more of an adult experience then you’ll be glad to know that there are many casinos that operate in the city. Some of them are known across the world, so you won’t want to miss out on them. If you don’t want to venture out, or if you are concerned that you just won’t have time with all of the other things that you have to do then you have nothing to worry about. It’s very easy for you to play slots online, through sites such as NetBet slots. This gives you the chance to stay in your comfy hotel room after a long day without missing out on the gambling experience that the area is known for.

The Apartheid Museum

This museum portrays, in graphic form, film footage and newspaper clippings. It’s got plenty of thought-provoking exhibits and it also shows the emotional journey that most people took during the history of the civilisation. You’ll need at least two hours, if not a bit longer to take in everything that this city has to offer, so make sure that you don’t miss out or not go for as long as you need. It’s certainly something that you will regret. [caption id="attachment_98710" align="aligncenter" width="660"] Image from the Apartheid Museum.[/caption]

Constitution Hill

Constitution Hill overlooks Johannesburg and it’s actually a former prison. It provides a fascinating insight into the history of Africa and when you visit the site you will soon see that there is the Old Fort Museum as well as the Women’s Gaol Museum a well. In this day and age, it’s known as being the Fort and it’s got a reputation for the brutal treatment of prisoners. The building has since been transformed into a gallery of freedom and it all protects the rights of the people and the nation. The court welcomes those who want to attend the hearings and who want to watch the judicial process in general.

If you want to find out more about the area, then why not visit it for yourself today? You won’t regret it and it really is packed full of fun things to do. There are endless places to eat too if you’re a foodie.
