约翰内斯堡
- 有关同名地点，请参阅 约翰内斯堡（消歧义）。
约翰内斯堡（亦称Jo'burg、Egoli 或 Jozi）是南非的一个大都市和南非最大的城市。这座城市曾被认为是90年代动荡时期南非的犯罪之都，但如今已摆脱了这一声誉，由充满活力的年轻人口和不断壮大的黑人中产阶级引领，更不用说无处不在的Amapiano和house音乐了。
这座城市拥有丰富的历史景点和街区可供探索，足以填充数天、数周甚至数月，才能真正领略其风貌。约翰内斯堡是一座充满活力的城市，雄心勃勃的南非人（以及更广泛的非洲人）纷纷来到这里，在大城市中寻求机会。
行政区
[]
| 市中心 约翰内斯堡的中心区域，包括布拉姆方丹、马博内格、纽敦和福德斯堡等旅游区 |
| 桑顿 包括罗斯班、兰德堡和其他北部郊区 |
| 索韦托 为在白人家庭、工厂和工业区工作的非洲黑人建造的住宅区，索韦托的部分地区现在是不断壮大的黑人中产阶级的家园 |
| 约翰内斯堡南部 阿尔伯顿、罗塞滕维尔、布拉克恩唐斯和图尔方坦 |
约翰内斯堡被划分为八个行政区域。这些区域不包括埃库莱尼市，埃库莱尼传统上被认为是约翰内斯堡的一部分，但出于行政目的已被分离。虽然此列表并不详尽，但约翰内斯堡的主要区域包括：
了解
[]约翰内斯堡市中心区人口约560万（2023年），其中一半居住在 索韦托及周边地区。南非黑人居民占人口的四分之三，大部分居住在 索韦托，而白人居民约占12%（2019年）。其余11%为其他族裔，包括非洲最大的华人社区。该市有两个唐人街；位于Commissioner Street的第一个唐人街自全盛时期以来已大幅缩小，但仍有一些由少数南非华人经营的商店和企业，而位于Cyrildene郊区的一个更新、更大的唐人街则主要由来自中国的移民和侨民居住。与其他南非城市不同，这里没有某个语言群体占主导地位，尽管英语是公认的通用语。
这座城市是南非乃至非洲一部分地区的经济中心。然而，城市的财富在居民之间的分配不均，导致城市生活条件差异很大，从第一世界到第三世界。贫富差距导致了世界上最高的犯罪率之一。富裕阶层倾向于居住在符合西方标准的安保措施严密的房屋中，而贫困阶层则居住在条件较差的住房中。尽管如此，犯罪很少会影响日常生活，尤其是对游客而言，他们几乎没有理由去这座城市的危险区域。许多南非人选择住在这里而不是国家其他更安全的地方。
约翰内斯堡有很多独特之处。它拥有独特的街头创业文化，与许多其他发展中国家城市一样，驾驶者可以在红绿灯处从街头小贩那里购买商品。这些商品包括食物、雨伞、足球、手机配件等。路边可以看到只有一把椅子和一位热情理发师的理发店，尽管他们倾向于专长于非洲发质而非白人发质。城市中还可以看到矿渣山，这是对这座城市黄金开采历史的提醒。随着新的黄金提取技术使采矿公司有利可图地对其进行再处理，这些矿渣山正在迅速消失。
约翰内斯堡拥有约600万棵树木，可能是世界上最大的非自然形成城市森林。考虑到其自然景观是草原，这座城市无疑是世界上最绿色的城市之一。

概览
[]
在约翰内斯堡辨别方向最简单的方法是找到地平线上的两个电信塔。希尔布罗塔位于市中心附近，而布里克森塔（也称Sentech塔）位于城市西部。由于它们都是高耸的塔楼，位于高地上，并且易于与其他建筑物区分开来，因此它们是绝佳的地标。
- 如果希尔布罗塔在布里克森塔的左侧，那么您就在北部
- 如果希尔布罗塔比布里克森塔更近，那么您就在东方
- 如果布里克森塔在希尔布罗塔的左侧，那么您就在南部
- 如果布里克森塔比希尔布罗塔更近，那么您就在西方
根据您所在的位置，您也可能看到一个圆柱形建筑（Ponte City Apartments），靠近希尔布罗塔。
有一个环路系统的高速公路，市中心位于环路中央。北环由N1公路组成，西环由N1公路组成，东环由N3公路组成，南环由N12公路组成。环路被M1高速公路南北贯穿，被M2高速公路部分东西贯穿。
抵达
[]
乘汽车
[]从南非各地的高速公路都通往约翰内斯堡，例如从开普敦和布隆方丹来的N1公路，以及从德班来的N3公路，使其成为一个方便到达的目的地，包括：
高峰时段（周一至周五06:30-09:00和15:30–18:30）交通可能特别拥堵，请据此规划您的行程。事故频繁，可能在一天中的任何时间和夜晚造成延误。如果您驾车前往OR坦博国际机场，请格外小心，因为吉洛利互通立交桥和通往机场的R24公路上的事故频发。
交通日益拥堵，堵车可能会耽误您的行程。由于城市规模庞大且分散，出行可能需要长途跋涉，例如从中兰德到索韦托，超过45公里（28英里）。
乘飞机
[]- 奥·R·坦博国际机场 (JNB IATA) (原名约翰内斯堡国际机场，再早是简·史密斯机场，这些旧名称仍被广泛使用), ☏ +27 11 921-6911. 约翰内斯堡的主要机场。它是非洲最繁忙的机场，也是飞往南部非洲其他城市的航空枢纽。有许多国际航班飞往约翰内斯堡，特别是来自伦敦的航班。大多数从欧洲出发的航班都是夜间航班，清晨抵达。如果您乘坐这些航班抵达，请准备好在移民局排很长的队。如果您从高风险地区飞来，请记得携带您的黄热病疫苗接种证明。
A航站楼用于国际航班，B航站楼用于国内航班。离境时，部分国际航班可能在B航站楼办理登机手续，但仍从A航站楼出发。两个航站楼相邻，步行约5分钟可达。
机场位于约翰内斯堡以东，距市中心24公里（15英里）。机场有高速列车前往 桑顿 和 比勒陀利亚（见下文）。如果您乘坐出租车，请直行至建筑出口，然后左转，直到看到一排长长的出租车（主要是梅赛德斯），车顶有黄色的出租车标志。这些是持牌出租车，有计价器（告诉司机地址，在坐上车前坚持使用计价器）。 不要乘坐任何在机场大楼内主动搭讪您并提供出租车服务的车辆，这些人是无证的拉客者，您会多付钱。如果您入住酒店，请尝试让酒店派班车来接您。
关于换钱，请尽量避免到达门左侧的银行和货币兑换处：它们会显示汇率，但不会显示其过高的“佣金”，这可能会使您实际收到的金额减少10%甚至更多——这是南非所有银行和货币兑换处的普遍情况。最好使用ATM提取现金（南非ATM不收取取款手续费）。ATM位于机场楼上，在一个有许多商店和餐厅的零售商场里。
- 兰塞里亚国际机场 (HLA IATA). 约翰内斯堡的另一个机场，接待商业航班乘客。与由南非机场公司（ACSA）运营的奥·R·坦博机场不同，它是私营的。机场位于约翰内斯堡西北部，从桑顿、比勒陀利亚、韦斯特兰德和米德兰德地区均可到达，但交通可能非常拥堵。飞往该机场的航空公司较少，主要用于地区、商务和外交航班。
该机场主要用于小型包机、货运和经典航班；事实上，它比约翰内斯堡国际机场更繁忙，航空器起降架次更多。
更多信息请参阅 非洲廉价航空公司。
乘火车
[]约翰内斯堡是南非的铁路交通枢纽。虽然全国铁路网相当小，但豪登省内临近城市有广泛的铁路服务。
Shosholoza Meyl是国家客运铁路服务。截至2024年10月，Shosholoza Meyl仅运营以下线路：约翰内斯堡 – 布隆方丹 – 皇后镇 - 东伦敦。
Gautrain是约翰内斯堡、比勒陀利亚和OR坦博机场之间的高速列车。一趟极好的、达到第一世界水平的火车服务，从机场到桑顿只需15分钟。从马尔伯勒或桑顿车站可以连接到比勒陀利亚或公园车站。非常安全：火车和站台上有很多摄像头和保安。票价合理，除非往返机场，否则需要额外支付80兰特。不要试图步行到附近的Rhodesfield Gautrain车站以避免此附加费；这很危险，需要穿越高速公路和立交桥。
MetroRail[死链]运营通往许多郊区和外围城镇的通勤列车。由于MetroRail在几个不同的城市运营服务，因此出于运营目的，它被细分为五个区域。Witwatersrand地区涵盖大约翰内斯堡都会区。火车从约翰内斯堡和日耳曼斯堡出发，前往斯普林斯、比勒陀利亚、索韦托和克鲁格斯多普。Metrorail比Gautrain便宜得多，但不那么安全；作为游客，您应该选择更贵的Gautrain选项。
- 约翰内斯堡公园车站, Rissik Street. 中央车站，位于市中心Rissik街（西）、Wolmarans街（北）、Wanderers街（东）和De Villiers街（南）之间，占据了好几个街区。车站本身很安全，但周边地区可能不安全。尽量在抵达前安排好后续交通，即使只是从车站走一小段路。最好向当地人咨询其他公共交通的使用方法。Gautrain（豪登省快速列车）在此附近设有车站，通过地下通道与公园车站相连。与Gautrain一贯的做法一样，安保（摄像头和警卫）非常充足。
乘巴士
[]长途巴士抵达公园车站或新的约翰内斯堡国际交通枢纽，该枢纽位于公园车站以西几个街区。所有主要巴士公司都提供往返约翰内斯堡的服务。其中一些公司包括：
- Greyhound，该公司提供前往南非各地目的地的服务。
- Intercape，南部非洲的主要运营商，提供往返南非大部分主要城市和邻国的路线。
- Translux[死链]其线路网络覆盖南非的许多目的地以及马拉维、莫桑比克、赞比亚和津巴布韦的主要城市。
- Magic Bus[死链]专注于短途运输，即定期的机场班车。
- S.A Roadlink有巴士往返南非主要城市中心。
- the Baz Bus提供背包客的“跳上跳下”服务。它从约翰内斯堡经德拉肯斯堡到德班，然后沿南非海岸线继续前往开普敦。
- Eldo Coaches提供从约翰内斯堡到东伦敦的巴士，票价为300兰特；从约翰内斯堡到开普敦，票价从450兰特起。
- Eagle Liner提供从约翰内斯堡到布拉瓦约（津巴布韦）的巴士，票价为330兰特。
- 约翰内斯堡国际交通枢纽, 66 Harrison St.
四处逛逛
[]约翰内斯堡是一座为汽车而建的城市，因此公共交通系统仍在发展中。Gautrain（不是地铁系统的高速列车）是连接机场、马尔堡、米德兰德、罗丝班、比勒陀利亚和Centurion的良好、干净且安全的交通方式。街上有公交车和小巴，但通常没有指定的站点，因此可以在牛津街和简·史密斯街等主干道上招手拦下公交车。这些车可能不安全，但较大的双层地铁巴士在牛津街沿线很容易乘坐，始发于甘地广场，途经Killarney、罗丝班、Illovo、桑顿、Rivonia和Sunninghill（5C和5D路公交车）。一般来说，除非有当地人陪同，否则乘坐小型巴士出租车是个坏主意。其他公交车选择是橙色的Putco巴士，比地铁巴士更频繁，价格也稍贵。最后是Gautrain的接驳巴士，连接到Gautrain的各个站点——可以在Gautrain网站或移动网站上轻松找到。问题是，周末和公共假期公交车非常成问题，Gautrain巴士停运，地铁巴士只有两条路线，Putco巴士完全停运。这时火车是一个不错的选择，或者租车。
租车将为您提供最大的灵活性和游览这座城市的机会，尽管驾驶速度很快，但只要保持警惕，绝非难事。早上（06:30至09:00）前往桑顿的交通拥堵，从所有方向都通往桑顿，下午则从桑顿出来的所有路线（15:30至18:30）都可能使您的行程延迟长达2小时，所以请做好相应计划。
租车
[]如果您是自信的驾驶员，租车是您的最佳选择，因为该市的公共交通非常非常有限。购买一份约翰内斯堡的详细路况图，使用GPS（租车时提供）并在出发前仔细规划行程是值得的。这座城市很大，标牌有些不清晰。务必与您的租车公司彻底沟通清楚保险计划涵盖哪些内容。“全险”并不一定意味着完全覆盖。交通可能很激进，特别是小型巴士出租车经常无视交通规则。
像任何大城市一样，约翰内斯堡有一些区域，如果您看起来像游客或没有足够的燃油离开，您最好不要去。许多地区暴力犯罪率很高，抢车也是真实的风险；因此，通常建议天黑后不要在红绿灯处停车。寻求建议。当地车牌以“GP”（豪登省）开头。如果您的汽车有任何其他车牌，您就会暴露自己是“外地区”的。如有疑问，请在警察局停车并询问路线。
从机场出发：沿着机场和桑顿之间的公路行驶，不要通过亚历山大贫民窟，走伦敦路。遵循最快路线的GPS通常会绕过贫民窟，但了解去向总是好的。（如果您从机场来，并且担心走错路，可以继续经过Marlboro Drive，然后上N3（变成N1），直到到达Rivonia路。然后左转/向南，这将带您直接进入桑顿，绕过任何贫民窟。）
- Europcar Car Hire, ☏ +27 11 883-4352, info@europcar.co.za. 在约翰内斯堡和约翰内斯堡机场提供汽车租赁服务。
- Pace Car Rental, ☏ +27 11 262-5500, info@pacecarrental.co.za.co.za。 约翰内斯堡和桑顿的长期汽车租赁；汽车、皮卡和小型巴士。
- Rent a Wreck, ☏ +27 11 402-5150, info@rentawreck.co.za。 非常便宜的汽车租赁。汽车很旧但可靠。
- Exeque Car Rental, ☏ +27 10 235-0898, info@exequecarrental.co.za。 仅限长期租赁。
- Xtreme Car Rental, 18 Herman Road, Meadowdale, ☏ +27 11 394-0771, info@xtremecarrental.co.za。 06:00-18:00。 约翰内斯堡机场附近的现金租车。
停车（路边）通常是免费的，因为没有咪表，但通常会有当地的代客泊车员，他们会收取几兰特费用照看您的汽车。尽量停在光线充足的地方，并且务必提前计划，将车停在离目的地太远的地方不是个好主意。如果可能，请使用安全停车场。所有Gautrain车站都有安全可靠的停车场，尽管价格有点贵。
乘巴士
[]约翰内斯堡的公共交通由市营巴士和小巴组成。对于不熟悉南非和约翰内斯堡的外国游客/商务旅客来说，巴士（Gautrain巴士和City Sightseeing巴士除外）不是一个可行的选择。大型蓝色市营巴士在主要道路上行驶，小巴可以在路边招手叫车，尽管它们不是最好的交通方式，因为它们不可靠，并且经常与犯罪有关。除非您非常熟悉南非的生活方式和约翰内斯堡的基本地理，否则不应使用它们。
- Rea Vaya。 这是一种快速公交系统（BRT），旨在为主要路线提供安全、可靠且价格合理的公共交通系统。Rea Vaya拥有专用的公交车道，每500米设有一个站点，并具有站外收费和像轨道交通系统一样的平层登车。小型巴士（接驳车）和出租车将为人们提供往返主要路线的便利。
- Metrobus, ☏ +27 11 833-5538。 在约翰内斯堡地区提供巴士交通服务。巴士可用，但路线和时间受西方标准限制。
- 小巴出租车。 除非您有当地人陪同，否则应避免使用：路线非常混乱，司机经常会在您问“您要去X吗？”时说“是”，以便拿到您的钱，然后把您丢在某个十字路口说“在这里换车”。因此，如果您乘坐小巴，最好向其他乘客而非司机询问路线。人们通常非常友好，会帮助您。小巴经常不符合道路安全标准（尽管它们比非洲大部分地区的情况要好），并且涉及致命事故。小巴出租车司机之间激烈而暴力的竞争导致了大众化的平价交通。
- 城市观光, ☏ +27 861 733 287。 虽然不是真正的公共交通，但City Sightseeing巴士游览了城市一些最著名的旅游景点（种族隔离博物馆、宪法山、布拉姆方丹等），因此可以作为汽车和出租车的替代品。行程从罗斯班的“The Zone”开始。
- Gautrain, 免费电话： 0800 428 87246。 除了火车，Gautrain还运营一个庞大的巴士网络，为乘客提供接驳到各个Gautrain车站的服务。巴士是安全的，游客可以使用，但一如既往，请提前计划并了解您的目的地。周末没有服务。
打车
[]建议外国人只使用普通轿车式出租车（载有您和您旅伴的计价或固定价格出租车），因为小巴出租车声誉不佳，相对不安全。然而，小巴出租车非常便宜，是两个点之间最快的交通方式。它提供了地道的体验，但如果您使用这些，则必须了解风险。使用这些主要依赖于各种当地手势，并且只有在与当地人一起旅行时才应使用。计价出租车不像许多大城市那样丰富，但还是有的，而且在大多数情况下，需要提前预订。这可能会导致您长时间等待出租车。除非您停留时间很短，否则租车是值得的。Uber，一家基于应用程序的出租车公司，也是一个可行的出行选择，尽管该公司在当地出租车公司中非常不受欢迎，有报道称对司机和乘客都发生了暴力事件。
总的来说，所有出租车运营商都相互勾结并固定价格，因此出租车不便宜也不计价。讨价还价是常态，所以最好在打电话时商定价格。不要依赖购物中心的出租车停靠点，因为它们通常不存在。务必携带几家出租车的电话号码和现金，以免被困在任何地方。如果您有本地SIM卡，Uber的价格和服务优于出租车。
- Sandton Taxi Cabs (Pty) Ltd, ☏ +27 11 039-4402。 提供司机服务、机场接送、日间旅游和24小时出租车服务的运输公司。
- Airport Link, ☏ +27 11 792-2017。 固定价格机场接送服务。
- Elias, ☏ +27 76 834-0670。 CBD地区友好的出租车司机。
- Magicbus, ☏ +27 11 548-0822。 提供OR坦博机场和桑顿之间的班车服务。他们还提供门到门接送服务。对于独自旅行的旅客来说有点贵，但团体旅行比较合理。
- Maxi Taxi, ☏ +27 11 648-1212。 总部设在约维尔的信誉良好的出租车公司。
- Roses Taxi, ☏ +27 11 403-9625。 服务于全市。
- Zebra Cabs, ☏ +27 86 110-5105。 服务于约翰内斯堡。所有汽车都配备GPS。每公里11兰特。
- Uber，基于应用程序（适用于Android和iOS）。
乘火车
[]Metrorail Gauteng运营着广泛的通勤火车网络，在大多数地区都有车站，然而火车经常拥挤且声誉不佳。高速Gautrain可用于在市中心和桑顿之间旅行。
看

你知道吗？
高222米的卡尔顿中心是非洲最高的建筑，但不是最高的结构。约翰内斯堡的希尔布罗塔（270米）和Sentech塔（234米）都比卡尔顿中心高。非洲最高的结构是塞库达的301米SASOL烟囱，紧随其后的是怀特班克外杜瓦发电厂的两座300米烟囱。 |
市中心
[]中央商务区（CBD）糟糕的名声已不再是它应得的。CBD各地涌现了许多画廊和艺术空间。市中心是约翰内斯堡非洲游客访问最多的地区，特别是前来约翰内斯堡批发市场购物的商人。
纽敦和市场剧院区（城市的文化区）现在很容易从高速公路和曼德拉大桥到达，而且非常有趣；你还可以在这里找到现场音乐场所和酒吧。
布拉姆方丹，大学区，有一个很棒的周六市场，充满活力的夜生活，非常有艺术气息。白天这里什么都没有。
在城市东侧，有Main Street Life、Maboneng Precinct和Arts on Main（特别是周日市场和The Bioscope独立电影院）。Maboneng地区有24小时保安，所以您可以自由地在街道上行走，但请确保不要走得太远。特洛伊维尔酒店的特洛伊维尔酒店有一家很棒的餐厅，还有一个艺术中心和所有主要的体育场（足球、网球、田径、橄榄球）。
在西侧，福德斯堡曾经是印度人聚居区，现在被称为“小索马里”和“埃塞俄比亚城”，是约翰内斯堡中部的一部分，有一些印度和巴基斯坦餐馆以及非洲街头小吃、商店和市场。这个街区可以找到美味的食物，以约翰内斯堡的标准来看，晚上有街头生活景象，周五和周六更是如此。大多数地方都清真，不提供酒精。这里的东方广场购物中心可以淘到好东西。
在市中心，Jeppe街和Bree街之间，Delvers街处，抬头可以看到阿姆哈拉语文字，表明您正身处埃塞俄比亚/索马里区。Africa Mall和Johannesburg Mall有埃塞俄比亚餐馆和咖啡馆。最好在下午2点前到达。
东北部，约维尔被称为“小金沙萨”，是约翰内斯堡许多法语非洲移民的家园。有很多喀麦隆餐馆和刚果酒吧。
希尔布罗以毒品交易、性酒吧、犯罪等恶名，但正在缓慢改善。如果您参观宪法山或约翰内斯堡美术馆，希尔布罗就在街对面，没那么吓人。清空您的口袋，周日早上去希尔布罗塔底部散步。走在主要街道上，保持警惕，不要携带任何有价值的物品。这绝对是一次有趣的经历。访问前值得观看路易斯·赛鲁斯的《约翰内斯堡的法律与混乱》。

工作
[]Due to South Africa's negotiated settlement which heralded the dawn of South Africa's democracy in 1994, South Africans have gained a reputation for holding meetings or lekgotlas (the Tswana word meaning "meeting place") to resolve their concerns, and plan for the future.
This desire to meet, discuss and strategise is also found among South Africa's business leaders, and Johannesburg as Africa and South Africa's economic hub is filled with conferencing venues and meeting places which can host a wide range of events for small or large groups.
Popular conference areas include the Rosebank and Sandton areas where conferences tend to be held in and around some of the city's top hotels. The Muldersdrift area and western region of Johannesburg has developed a reputation for outstanding function venues, particularly weddings and private events. While the midrand area located halfway between Johannesburg and Pretoria is also a popular conferencing and events area.
购物
[]There are many craft markets in Johannesburg and the surrounding areas. You will also find plenty of beautifully crafted beadwork and wirework being sold on the roadside and at intersections. Though you will be able to bargain with the locals, give a thought to the crafters who are often unemployed and rely on sales to support themselves and their family.
Craftsmen and women from all over Africa sell their goods at the Rosebank flea market on Sundays and in a bazaar type shop in the Rosebank mall on week days. Johannesburg has no specific artwork, which you can't get in other parts of the country. But you will find very good quality shops for this. Don't forget to buy the 2 ft giraffe which you get all over and at the airport.
购物中心
[]Shopping malls are very popular in Johannesburg, due to their convenience, safety and the fact that there are few alternatives. Although, thankfully, Jozi is one of the few cities in the country that still has some street life. A typical shopping mall has all the usual chain stores (for clothes, books, music, chemists, etc.), a food hall (KFC, Mugg & Bean), and a big western-style supermarket in the basement. Many also have a multiplex cinema. They can be comfortable but soulless refuges that can trap the tourist with their familiar, air conditioned surrounds, so beware. There are many shopping malls throughout Johannesburg. Most have free secure parking, although you have to pay for parking in the more popular malls (Rosebank & Sandton).
You will also find many smaller shopping malls close to residential areas. Usually with one or two of the larger retail stores, a number of smaller chain stores, fast food and possibly a restaurant or coffee shop.
餐饮
[]Johannesburg has a wide variety of places to eat and you'll be sure to find something to suit your taste buds, be it local delicacies or international cuisines. In addition to standard South African shopping mall restaurants Johannesburg is one of the few cities with various 'restaurant streets' scattered around the suburbs offering a more European dining experience.
餐厅街
- Melville 7th Street - Traditionally Melville has been where most people head to for an evening meal - however, it now caters to students more than the moneyed middle classes. Melville offers a small pocket of culture, with street vendors often selling their own artworks, and charity shops abound.
- Gleneagles Road, Greenside makes a good destination (north of Melville - head to where the M71 crosses the M20, Green Way) and there is a good collection of cafes and restaurants which won't be full of tourists.
- Grant Avenue, Norwood is becoming more popular since Melville started catering more to students. A collection of uncomplicated restaurants, including numerous sushi places and simple pizza and pasta Italian restaurants. Pick of the crop is probably Sharwarma, with serves South African flavored Lebanese food, and also serves good steak and fish.
- Tyrone Avenue, Parkview has a collection of coffee shops and restaurants
- 4th Avenue, Parkhurst boosts a handful of restaurants and shops along the street. The area is very safe so you can walk the street without any problems.
- Queen's Street, Kensington to the east of the CBD has a handful of restaurants near the crossing with Northumberland.
- Derrick Avenue, Cyrildene near Eastgate is a local Chinatown, and has numerous excellent Asian restaurants.
Don't ignore the CBD either, there are a handful of nice restaurants near the Market Theatre, and they are cheaper than their northern suburb cousins. Of course the northern suburb shopping malls are brimming with South African chain restaurants, of which the more expensive ones are also quite good, if a little soulless. South African cuisine features many varieties of sauces, and your food may be drowned in said sauce if you don't ask for it on the side
- Melville is neighbourhood where you can find many bars and mediocre restaurants. It is close to the national broadcaster (SABC) headquarters, all the universities and many artists, academics and students live in this community.
- Fordsburg has many Indian restaurants with authentic Indian cuisine as well as conventional franchise stores (Wimpy, Nandos, Fishmonger, Nescafe, etc.). Fordsburg is close to the Oriental Plaza and can be combined with your shopping expedition. Fordsburg is one of the few (if any) areas of Johannesburg that has a thriving outdoor street market and pedestrian traffic at night, in a relative sense. It's a small area and pedestrian traffic is light, but at least present. The area is more busy on Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights.
饮品
[]Good pubs and clubs are available in the Melville student district, Braamfontein, Rosebank and the Newtown cultural precinct. Posh and upmarket clubbing happens in the Rivonia and Sandton area.

注意安全
[]Johannesburg has stubbornly high crime levels. Armed security guards (not necessarily the police) are a common sight in the city. Ask local people, such as your hotel staff, on what to do and when to do it.
Johannesburg earned its lawless reputation during the 1980s when the apartheid regime was collapsing. However things have improved enormously since those days with in large part all communities residing peacefully and in unity, although the advice you may receive from some Johannesburg residents may not match today’s reality. Nevertheless you should keep security in mind and tourists must remain alert at all times when in unfamiliar surroundings.
When on the street (this doesn’t apply to shopping malls and other secure environments) best general advice is to try your best to look like a local and to avoid displaying any form of wealth. Keep your cellphone hidden, leave your jewellery at the hotel and avoid carrying backpacks, daypacks, cameras or purses. Use a cheap plastic bag, keep your valuables at the hotel and take only the amount of money that you really need. Never use a purse, but put loose coins or notes in your pockets. Limit the credit and debit cards you carry to ones with low limits/balances and set appropriate withdrawal limits in case you are robbed at gunpoint at ATMs. Be mindful of your shoes - you may be able to dress down, but if you only have a new pair of sneakers, don't be surprised if you're still a target.
Should you be a victim of robbery, it is best to cooperate with your assailants, surrender your valuables, do not attempt to negotiate, do not look them in the eye. More importantly, do not resist, as the assailants may be armed. You should then report the robbery to the police immediately.
Above all, use your common sense! If someone insists that you follow them to get somewhere or do something, approach with extreme caution. Don't pay someone for something unless you have the goods in hand. When approached by beggars, it is generally a good idea to politely but firmly deny them.
Finally, keep things in perspective. Johannesburg has a partly-deserved bad reputation for crime, but most victims are local residents living in the townships. The overwhelming majority of visitors have a trouble-free stay.
购物中心
[]Shopping malls in Johannesburg are as safe as shopping malls anywhere else in the world, with pick-pocketing being the only risk, though a small one.
中央商务区
[]The central business district is busy during the day, and parts of it are pretty scruffy, but there are lots of police and private security around. The area is largely deserted at night, during weekends, and on holidays. There are many interesting things to do in the CBD; just plan where you are going to park and what you are going to visit beforehand, and never wander around aimlessly.
北部郊区
[]Walking and cycling in the Northern Suburbs is popular for both the residents and workers there, so you should be fine walking from your guesthouse to a local restaurant or shopping mall; however, distances can be large, which makes driving or taking a taxi better options. If you want to go jogging (not recommended for lone women) or for a long walk then carry a map and as few valuables as possible, and make sure you are home before it gets dark.
乡镇
[]Alexandra is a very poor and dangerous township that deserves particular attention for the foreign visitor because it is next to the road that you would drive on from the airport to Sandton and is therefore easy to land up in if you get lost or take the wrong off-ramp.
Never take the London Road off-ramp from the N3 highway to get to Sandton, (which you will see on the horizon and London Road may look like a shortcut even when reading a map or using GPS) unless you are travelling with a local who knows where they are going, as this road goes right through the heart of Alexandra and you could easily get lost.
To get to Sandton when coming from the airport, take Marlboro Drive from the N3 and drive straight until you reach the M1 highway (this is also called the Marlboro offramp). Do not turn south/left (if you are coming from the N3) or right/south (if you are coming from the M1/Sandton side) anywhere between the N3 and the M1, including Louis Botha Avenue (which may be dangerous unless you know the area).
Alternatively, if you want to avoid the risk of getting this wrong, you can drive a bit further (the N3 becomes the N1) and take Rivonia Road to the south, which will take you straight into central Sandton passing through only affluent areas for the entire length of this road, so if you go the wrong way, you are still in safe areas.
Also, when taking the Gautrain (very safe and nauseatingly well-guarded) between central Sandton and the airport, one of the stations it will stop at is Marlboro Station. This station is the interchange to Pretoria and is right on the edge of Alexandra. Do not exit at this station.
Other townships surround the city and don’t offer much for the tourist except for Soweto, the middle class parts of which (Orlando West) can be visited independently, although most choose to go with a tour.
Night-time
[]It is prudent to plan night-time journeys and to use a reputable taxi. If you must walk at night, make sure to remain in populated, well-lit areas, and walk confidently with a purpose so that you at least pretend that you know where you are going. Avoid giving the impression that you are lost, and ask directions only from shops and not random people on the streets.
Driving
[]It is best to use a GPS when driving so that you do not get lost. Also be aware that more South Africans die from road accidents than from violence. There is a great deal of aggression on the roads, and many accidents are fuelled by alcohol.
Do not leave any valuables on the seats as it is possible that your window could be smashed and your belongings grabbed. At night, do not stop at red traffic lights if you see people lingering there, as they may be up to no good. Slow down and go through the red traffic lights, even if you have to pay a fine (very small chance).
The risk of being hijacked is high in the Gauteng province, and therefore you need to be vigilant at all times. Watch out for vehicles following you or road blocks (stones, wood) on the roads. Keep in mind that most hijackings occur when the driver waits at a gate (usually at home), try to minimize that time by opening the gate (electronically) while still driving slowly towards it. If there is traffic behind, pull a side and let them pass first. If you have parked in a quiet area, be particularly careful when you go to and from your car as thieves can wait for victims to exit/enter their vehicle. If you are faced with a suspicious or dangerous encounter, drive to the nearest police station or well-lit populated area.
公共交通
[]The Gautrain is totally safe and provides frequent rides from Park Station stopping in Rosebank, Sandton, Malboro, Midrand, Centurion, Pretoria and Hatfield. From the station, Uber is accessible to reach other destinations in the different neighbourhoods. The new Rea Vaya buses are too a viable, safe and cheap option unlike the city's Metrobus service that can be safe to ride although it is often late and far too unreliable and confusing for a short-term foreign visitor to figure out.
女性
[]Rape and sexual assault levels are exceptionally high. However, most sexual assault and rape cases involve alcohol and take place between people who know each other. Care should be taken in sexual encounters due to the high HIV levels in Johannesburg; insist on using condoms. Females should always avoid walking alone and should try, if possible, to remain in groups.

[]Tap water is completely safe to drink, Johannesburg's water has one of the highest ratings in the world.
