Passengers landing in Johannesburg are welcomed with several transport options to get into the city centre.

Alternatively, you can hop on the Gautrain service, taking between 15-45 minutes depending on your destination. Car rentals are also available at the airport if you would prefer to drive.

Known as South Africa’s ‘City of Gold’, Johannesburg boasts a fascinating history, several world class museums, and access to Africa’s diverse and exotic wildlife reserves.

For a deeper understanding of the anti-apartheid movement, consider visiting the former houses of Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu, as well as the Apartheid Museum and the Hector Pieterson Memorial. There is also fascinating archaeological history to be discovered at the UNESCO Site, the Cradle of Humankind, the world’s richest hominid site. Hosting around 40% of the world’s human ancestor fossils, the site depicts human evolution over the last 3.5 million years.

For an inside look at real ‘Jozi’ culture, pay a visit to the lively precinct of Maboneng – a well-connected urban suburb in downtown Johannesburg. Rapidly rising as a hub of innovation, this unique neighbourhood boasts a multitude of galleries, art walks, quirky boutiques and weekly food markets.

If you wish to have an adventure on an African safari, a few wildlife reserves are as popular as Kruger National Park. Only a five-hour drive from central Johannesburg, this is one of the best places to witness the continent’s most iconic animals including the ‘Big Five’; lions, leopards, rhinoceros, elephants and buffalo.

Before your flight to Johannesburg with Cathay Pacific, book your stay at one of the city’s most renowned hotels to earn exciting rewards including room upgrades, lounge access, and extra miles. You might decide to stay in a hotel like the InterContinental Johannesburg for its proximity to the airport, or Johannesburg Marriott Hotel Melrose Arch for a more centrally-located luxurious experience.

Johannesburg is a vibrant and diverse city in South Africa, and its culinary scene reflects the multiculturalism of its inhabitants. One must-try is the iconic South African dish, the "Braai," which is a traditional barbecue featuring juicy grilled meats like boerewors (spiced sausage) and succulent steaks. For those seeking a taste of African cuisine, local specialities such as bobotie (a spiced minced meat dish with an egg-based topping) and pap (a cornmeal porridge) are popular choices. The city also boasts a wide range of international flavours found in districts like Rosebank and Sandton.

If you want a small snack while exploring the city, head to a market (we recommend the Neighbourgoods Market) where you will find delights like bunny chow (a hollowed-out loaf of bread filled with curry) and boerewors rolls.

There’s plenty to remember when flying to a new destination. Here is some information that you should know before your flight to Johannesburg.
