One-Day Guided Joburg Inner City Tour

Minimum 0.5 hours
Stroll through Gandhi Square, a bustling commercial hub nestled in the heart of Johannesburg’s inner city. Beyond its lively atmosphere and modern appeal, the square offers a glimpse into Mahatma Gandhi’s formative years in South Africa – a lesser-known chapter of his journey. As the site of his legal practice and early activism, Gandhi Square carries echoes of a legacy rooted in peace, justice and resilience.

Minimum 2 hours
Explore Constitution Hill, a living museum that chronicles South Africa’s profound journey to democracy. This historic site, once a prison and military fort, bears witness to the country’s turbulent past and now proudly houses the Constitutional Court, a beacon for human rights and justice. Few places in South Africa have confined as many world-renowned figures as the Old Fort, the Women’s Jail and Number Four, which held icons such as Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Joe Slovo, Albertina Sisulu, Winnie Madikizela-Mandela and Fatima Meer. Their stories echo through the walls, making Constitution Hill not just a place of incarceration, but one of resilience, memory and hope.
