Johannesburg is located in the northeast-central part of South Africa. The city is also known as the 'City of Gold', since the discovery of gold in 1886 when gold diggers, speculators and fortune hunters arrived in their droves. It is now the financial centre of South Africa and looks very western with concrete and glass skyscrapers. The city is served by Johannesburg International Airport and the journey to the city centre should take 30-45 minutes.
