If you are using City Sightseeing

City Sightseeing lists “Stop 11: Carlton Centre” on its Johannesburg City Tour, with the getting-there point given as 119 Main Street, Johannesburg CBD. This is useful if you are arriving as part of the tour route rather than navigating directly to the shopping centre entrance.

Check City Sightseeing directly before relying on tour stop times, prices, availability, or route details, as these can change.

If you are being dropped off

If you are using a ride-hailing service, taxi, shuttle, or lift, confirm whether the best drop-off point is Commissioner Street, Main Street, or another nearby access point. A clear drop-off point can make the final part of your visit easier, especially if you are meeting someone, collecting an item, or heading to a specific store.
