The main cities of Johannesburg and Pretoria are the main commercial and industrial centers in South Africa. Gauteng is a bright, vibrant and multicultural hub whose bright city lights attract fast, urban young professionals.

In Johannesburg visitors may choose to take in the Johannesburg Art Gallery and Market Theatre Complex, Sandton City, Gold Reef City or experience a tour of Soweto. In Pretoria various historical and cultural buildings can be seen such as the Voortrekker Monument and the Union Buildings.
