Hotels in City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, South Africa

The City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality, sitting 1,753 meters above sea level in South Africa's Gauteng province, is famous for its gold rush history and vibrant urban culture. Its subtropical highland climate means warm summers (around 26°C/79°F) are perfect for exploring the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, while mild winters (around 16°C/61°F) are ideal for a guided tour of Soweto to see Nelson Mandela's former home and the Hector Pieterson Memorial. For a wilder experience, you can join a day trip to the nearby Krugersdorp Game Reserve, where winter's dry conditions make animal sightings easier, or catch live jazz at the iconic Orbit venue in Braamfontein during the cooler evenings.
