Johannesburg

Tower sights in Johannesburg

  1. A

    Telkom Tower

    Dominated by the 269m Telkom Tower, Hillbrow was once among the liveliest and most interesting suburbs in the city and was the nation’s first ‘Grey Area’ – a zone where blacks and whites could live side by side. These days, however, it also has a reputation for very real lawlessness and a trip into its guts, without an extremely savvy guide, is not recommended.

    Top of Africa

    To view Jo’burg from on high, take the lift to the Top of Africa. The entrance is via a special lift one floor below street level.
