It is the gateway to safaris and to sites central to the anti-apartheid story. Between its moving museums and buzzing arts districts, Joburg rewards travellers who dig beneath the surface!
When to go
The dry winter months (May to September) offer sunny days and are ideal for pairing the city with a safari. Summer (October to April) brings warmth and dramatic afternoon thunderstorms.
Getting there from Quebec City and Montreal
From eastern Canada, reaching Johannesburg (JNB) means at least two connections, usually a transatlantic flight from Toronto or Montreal and then a European or Gulf hub such as London, Frankfurt, or Doha. It is a long trip, often with an overnight leg, so plan for a full day or more of travel.
What to see and do
- Visiting the Apartheid Museum
- Touring Soweto and the Mandela House
- Exploring the Constitution Hill precinct
- Taking a day trip to the Cradle of Humankind fossil sites
Good to know before you go
The currency is the South African rand and English is widely spoken among 11 official languages. Public transit is limited and the city is very spread out, so ride apps like Uber and Bolt are the easy, affordable way to get around; the Gautrain links the airport and a few key hubs, and it is wise to take standard urban safety precautions.
