Johannesburg walking tour (Part 2)
Johannesburg was built on gold and sits on the edge of the world’s largest known gold deposits. Gold was first discovered near what is now Main Street in downtown Johannesburg in 1886, and today the well-preserved historical area surrounding Main Street’s six pedestrianised blocks, between Chancellor House and Gandhi Square, is known as the mining district. Discover the city’s rich mining history by walking these streets that gold built.
