READ THE GUIDE & BOOK CHEAP FLIGHTS TO JOHANNESBURG

First timers

With cheap flights to Johannesburg you can afford to enjoy a holiday of culture and nightlife in South Africa’s most vibrant city. Explore the gold mines at Gold Reef City and see Zulu dancing at Lesedi Cultural Village. Discover Jo’burg’s turbulent history at the acclaimed Apartheid Museum, and the Big Five at Johannesburg Zoo. The clubs and bars of upmarket Melville are hotspots for night owls.

Frequent flyers

Take a guided tour into Soweto Township for a new perspective, if you take frequent flights to Johannesburg. Or, leave the urban sprawl and drive through the mountain scenery and farmlands of the nearby Magaliesberg region. Also close by is the fascinating Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site where the first human fossils were found.


Shops

Splash the cash you save on your flight to Johannesburg on top-quality wines and homewares. Sandton City, one of the largest shopping centres in the southern hemisphere, is an experience in itself while the African Crafts Market sells the best art. On Sundays, locals flock to Rosebank Rooftop Market for food and clothing bargains.

Nights

For late-night drinking, Melville's Seventh Street has a heady mix of restaurants, clubs and coffee bars. For refined nights, Newtown Cultural Precinct is the place for top theatre shows while Greenside is the premier dining district. A cheap flight to Johannesburg means you’ll have more cash for partying in style.
