Getting There

Edit This

Johannesburg is an important transportation hub for South Africa as well as the whole Southern African region.

Johannesburg boasts one of Africa's few hubs for air travel, with regular connections throughout the continent. Intercontinental destinations are also well catered for with flights to Europe (London, Paris, Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Madrid, Lisbon, Athens, Zürich), Asia (Bangkok, Singapore, Hong Kong), North America (New York, Atlanta, Chicago), South America (Buenos Aires, Sao Paolo), the Middle East (Dubai, Tel Aviv)and Oceania (Sydney).

South Africa's (limited) rail network more or less centers in Johannesburg, providing connections to and from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, East London, Nelspruit, Messina and Pretoria.

Long distance busses connect Johannesburg with cities all over the country as well as some cities in neighbouring countries.
