Getting Around the City

Rental cars and taxi services are available at the airport. Taxi fares vary dramatically due to the lack of a standard metering system. The city's streets were designed to handle car traffic, so the public transit system is limited. Private minibuses also offer travel services. If you opt to drive a rental car during your stay, be aware that roads are often closed, and you will have to take detours to reach your destination.

The Weather in Johannesburg

Temperatures in Johannesburg range from lows of approximately three degrees Celsius to summer highs of twenty-nine degrees in January. The rainy season coincides with summer, so if you plan to visit during this period, you should pack rain gear. Winter travellers may wish to bring a heavy coat because of near freezing temperatures.
