Johannesburg: frequently asked

Is Sandton safe for short stays?

Sandton is the safest area in Johannesburg for visitors — well-patrolled, CCTV-dense, walkable within the central precinct. Use Uber at night rather than walking to outer streets.

What is Maboneng like?

Johannesburg's creative quarter — formerly derelict industrial area transformed into galleries, restaurants, a Sunday market, rooftop bars and creative businesses. Joburg's most exciting neighbourhood.

How do I get from OR Tambo to Sandton?

The Gautrain connects OR Tambo Airport directly to Sandton — 15 minutes, runs every 12 minutes at peak. Fastest, safest and most reliable option.
