About Johannesburg

Johannesburg

Opulent wealth and desperate poverty live side-by-side in South Africa’s biggest city. Long seen as Cape Town’s ugly sister but now there’s a growing nightlife scene with good bars and restaurants especially. Be careful when you’re going hardcore though.  

A couple of decent strip clubs but escorts and brothels are thin on the ground these days. Trying to track down hookers, etc  here can be a dangerous game.
