“Guided walking tour of inner-city Johannesburg — Constitution Hill, Old Fort Prison, Maboneng Precinct, Arts on Main, Carlton Centre observation deck, and the vibrant Jozi street art scene.
About This Experience
Discover the reborn soul of inner-city Johannesburg on this guided walking tour. Start at Constitution Hill, where the Old Fort once imprisoned Mandela, Gandhi, and countless freedom fighters — now home to the Constitutional Court, South Africa's highest court of law. Walk through the regenerated Maboneng Precinct with its galleries, street art, coffee shops, and the acclaimed Arts on Main complex. Ascend to the Top of Africa observation deck at the Carlton Centre (223 metres) for 360° views of the Johannesburg skyline and beyond. Your La Luonde guide is a Johannesburg local with deep knowledge of the city's transformation from mining camp to Africa's most dynamic metropolis.
