Johannesburg sits on a high plateau in the northeast of South Africa and is one of the country’s cultural and economic hubs. The city has a complex and painful history which tourists can learn about in one of the many museums. The Apartheid Museum is a must-see and bears witness to the struggles of the people who fought for democracy. Also worth a visit is Liliesleaf Farm, the secret headquarters of the African National Congress. Today the city is regenerating as can be seen in the Maboneng district, a hipster neighborhood teeming with galleries, bars, boutiques and restaurants. 

Summer in Johannesburg is from October to April and has temperatures of around 25° with afternoon thunderstorms and cool evenings. Winter is from May to September, with temperatures around 10°C. The modern areas of the city are fairly accessible for people with disabilities, but planning ahead is still wise.
