Johannesburg – The City of Gold

Johannesburg is the largest city in South Africa. It is also the world’s largest city not situated on or near water i.e. a river, a lake, or a coastline. Johannesburg is a major hub of gold and diamond trade, making it one of the wealthiest cities in the African continent. The discovery of gold in the area in the late 19th century triggered a gold rush, and the city of Johannesburg was founded and grew rapidly to what it is today. Johannesburg is a centre of culture in South Africa, and the city is home to several impressive museums and galleries which hold collections of exhibits from all over Africa and the rest of the world, showcasing South Africa’s cultural heritage.

I have been writing contents based on holidays and tours for the last five years at Travel Center. My passion is to help people who love travelling and are looking for the ideal travel tips on destinations all around the world. Like a lot of people, I hoped travel would solve everything. I set off - convinced my trip would be all about incredible, life-changing moments; ones full of sunsets and rainbows and meaningful experiences. Instead, I stumbled headfirst into a disaster.
