Carlton Centre - If you want a bird’s-eye view of Johannesburg, the 50-storey Carlton Centre is the place to go. Visitors to the centre can enjoy a panoramic view of the City of Gold from the Top of Africa, as the topmost floor of the building is known: 360 degrees of dense cityscape and outwards towards the countryside and beyond.
The tallest building in Africa and once the tallest building in the southern hemisphere, the Carlton Centre stands 223m high - about 40m shy of featuring on the world’s top 100 skyscrapers list.

Johannesburg holds the title as the largest city globally not situated near a coastline, lake, or river, leading it to be known as the largest ‘dry port’ in the world. Over half of the merchandise coming through the harbors of Durban and Cape Town is delivered to the City Deep container terminal. Although Johannesburg is over 120 years old, established on October 4, 1886, during the gold rush, it remains one of the world’s relatively younger major cities. Only Cairo, the busy Egyptian metropolis, surpasses Johannesburg in size on the African continent, rendering Johannesburg as the second largest city in Africa.
