- Constitution Hill Human Rights Precinct - This site hosts one of Johannesburg’s oldest buildings. Constitution Hill is home to the old fort, constructed by the apartheid government to defend South Africa from the British. It is also infamous for its history as a place where African people were held under inhumane conditions, with some succumbing to disease and torture. Today, it is renowned for housing the country’s highest court and is a must-visit for art enthusiasts.
- Johannesburg Park Station - This central railway station in Johannesburg is the largest in Africa, established in 1887. From here, a local bus will take us deeper into the city.
- Carlton Centre - Once the tallest building in Africa and the Southern Hemisphere for nearly 40 years, the Carlton Centre offers stunning views from its 50th floor. Visitors can enjoy the scenery before exploring streets lined with both historic and modern architecture.
- Maboneng Precinct - In the 1990s, Johannesburg was labeled a “dark city” and considered a no-go area. However, in 2008, the development of the Maboneng Cultural Precinct transformed it into one of the city’s most vibrant and trendy areas. Visitors can witness firsthand the progress South Africa has made since the apartheid era, when Johannesburg was deemed one of the world’s most dangerous cities. Today, it proudly stands as a relatively safe, multicultural city with much to offer.
