Johannesburg Cheap Holidays
The best known of all the South African gems is definitely that of Johannesburg. Perhaps mixed opinions have deterred travellers in the past, yet this thriving city has now grown into the fabulous holiday hot spot that it is today. The city of Johannesburg is literally the gold mine of Africa and is the perfect getaway for a cheap city break with a difference! As one of the fastest moving cities in the country, holidays here really are a break from the norm. One of the main calls to the city are of course the shopping amenities, the countries best landmarks and museums and the world class galleries, all complimented by the vibrant welcoming locals. Enjoying hot temperatures with the odd afternoon rainfall in the summer months, Johannesburg is the ideal way to warm those bones after battling out the British climate. With the rainforest just a stones throw away from the city, safari tours and jungle jaunts can be had as part of a multi centre holiday to South Africa. Johannesburg really is the city break with a difference. The Victorian and industrial buildings stand boldly amongst the smaller more modest residents, yet dwarfed themselves by the mass of modern sky scrapers very much apparent on the cities landscape! The Hillbrow and Sentech tower are the more obvious buildings on the cities skyline, although observation decks are not open to the public they make for great viewing from the bottom! For those after a great view it is possible to take the lift up to the 50th floor of the famous Carlton building. The Johannesburg City Hall, Post Office and the Nelson Mandela Bridge are probably the cities favourite and most attractive land marks too. With great upmarket bars and a lively jazz scene the city keeps going all night. Be sure to take a bus trip to the old apartheid township of Soweto too, Nelson Mandela grew up here! The Apartheid Museum is one of the top places to visit, giving the best insight to the countries history as well as a quick history lesson! With great hotels and a variety of flights, book with Fleetway Travel for cheap holidays, last minute deals and absolute holiday bargains.
