Cape Town & Johannesburg Travel Guide: Attractions, Eating, Drinking, Shopping & Places to Stay

Description

Located in the shadow of Table Mountain, Cape Town is the second largest South African city and is over 350 years old. This is Africa’s most southern city and is close to both the vineyards of the Cape Winelands and to the Cape of Good HopeThe South African people sometimes call Johannesburg Egoli, the City of Gold. This is a reference to the gold mines that lie beneath the city and to the heady Gold Rush that led to the city’s founding in the late 1800s. Johannesburg offers you the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of history-makers like Nelson Mandela, Gandhi and Archbishop Desmond Tutu and to visit landmarks which show its road to social reform. Half of Johannesburg’s three million population live in Soweto, a living monument to the country’s struggle against apartheid. Review: which would have been useful to find your way to the different places of ... - This travel guide (82 p.) was of no use to me. The content is too general to serve as a practical instrument. There are no maps of the two cities in it, which would have been useful to find your way to the different places of interest. Moreover, there are no indications of which days and hours different attractions/museums are open. In addition, some of the most important sightseeing highlights are not even mentioned - for example, Constitution Hill and Origins Centre in Johannesburg. Nor does it mention about the "Hop on - Hop Off" buses, that takes you around to various places both in Johannesburg and Cape Town. (Thanks to the information in the free tourist booklets "Joburg Ultimate Guide" and "Cape Town Official Visotors' Guide", I managed to get around easily and to see/experience many nice and interesting things.) The script/letters in the book are also unusually big, which makes it unnecessary large (15x23x0,5 cm); when travelling, it is handy with small books. Review: Useless - How did this get published?
