Ponte City Tour – Johannesburg’s Iconic Landmark

Explore Ponte City, the tallest residential structure in Africa. Standing 54 stories high in Johannesburg, this cylindrical tower – often likened to Paris’s Montparnasse – provides the most stunning views of the city and a history as compelling as its skyline.

From its glamorous inception in the 1970s, through its decline into a “vertical slum,” to its revival as a lively hub today, Ponte’s narrative is sure to fascinate. The tour includes an inside look at the building, followed by a walking tour of the vibrant Hillbrow neighborhood.

With transportation, lunch, and three tours available daily, every detail is covered. Whether the goal is to enjoy the view, delve into the building’s history, or explore the city’s core, this experience offers it all.
