Johannesburg CBD, Commercial district in Johannesburg, South Africa.

The Central Business District contains a collection of high-rise buildings centered around the Carlton Centre, forming the financial core of Johannesburg.

The district experienced substantial changes after 1994, transitioning from a restricted whites-only area into a diverse urban center following apartheid's end.

The district houses multiple museums, including Chancellor House, which preserves the former law offices of Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo.

The area connects to major transportation networks, with the Gautrain station providing direct access to OR Tambo International Airport.

Gandhi Square functions as both a transportation center and retail space, marking the location where Mahatma Gandhi practiced law for 21 years.

Location: City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality
