Johannesburg is famously dubbed the “City of Gold”. This is due to the discovery of gold in the area back in 1886. From its rich history of gold mining, today, this vibrant city has become South Africa’s main center of business and finance.
It’s home to one of the tallest skyscrapers in the entire country, with it being the 50-storey Carlton Centre. Several museums such as the Apartheid Museum and Cradle of Humankind World Heritage Site are also found here. These landmarks are excellent destinations for having a glimpse of the country’s past and the world as well. For leisure, the Market Theatre is your go-to place to catch the latest shows on stage.
After an exhausting but fulfilling day of touring the city, it’s pretty nice to cool off in a pool. With that, read on for the top Airbnbs with pool in Johannesburg, South Africa.
