Johannesburg - Exploring The Unique African Traditions

As the largest city in South Africa, Johannesburg is a very prosperous city. In addition, its also a focal point for African history and cultural tradition. This quality makes it a popular destination for vacationers, especially those who are looking for the ultimate city experience. If you plan on traveling to Johannesburg, remember you will need to get a passport prior to departure. Expired passports are easily renewed with expedited passport renewal.

You Will Need A Passport To Get There

Passport renewals are just one of the long list of services online passport sites provide. Included in these services are passport replacements for if your passport is damaged or simply misplaced, passport pages for if you are running short on blank ones, and even passport name change service, which is for those who need to get the name on their passport officially changed, whether it's because of marriage, divorce, or any other reason. The coolest part is being able to do it right from your computer chair at home.

The Apartheid Museum

All of Africa has been characterized by its long history of violence, cruelty, oppression, and death. Visiting the Apartheid Museum is a powerful reminder of some of this history. Known for its sometimes shocking displays full of almost incredible information, it isn't like any other museum you've ever been to. The Johannesburg Art Gallery is another good museum, although the subject matter is vastly different. This is the largest art gallery on the continent, and it features art from all over the globe. The Origins Centre at the South African Museum of Rock Art is a super interesting place to investigate humanity's origins.

Lion Park

One thing you absolutely cannot miss out on while in the city is Lion Park. A unique sort of wildlife experience, visitors are able to pet lion cubs and feed towering giraffes. It's not like a zoo where animals are kept in cages. Instead they run free, and you are able to take a tour (either with a guide or without) and get remarkably close to some of the fauna, including meerkats, zebras, and even full-grown lions.

Rosebank

Hand-made goods and authentic souvenirs can be purchased in the quaint neighborhood of Rosebank during the famed Sunday flea market. One of the things that makes this flea market so unique is the fact that it's located on the roof of a mall (which is open seven days a week and not just on Sundays.) It's a great place for people-watching and of course shopping, making it a one-of-a-kind experience. Oriental Plaza is another favorite shopping spot, thanks to it's 350 independently-owned stores where the owners are always ready to haggle on prices, which isn't a widely-accepted practice in this region.

Melville

Another one of Johannesburg's fun neighborhoods is Melville, an area particularly known for its artsy feel, eclectic stores, and cute restaurants. It's a good place in which to spend a day exploring, eating good food,and taking in the sights.

As you can see, Johannesburg is a very culturally and historically rich place. If any travel plans are taking you to Johannesburg in the near future, remember to have your valid passport. Expedited U S passport renewal is a great option for expired passports. If you were recently married or divorced, a USA passport name change can be done online as well.
