Johannesburg Essentials

Johannesburg’s history is anchored by the Apartheid Museum and Constitution Hill, a former prison complex that now houses South Africa’s Constitutional Court. The South Western Townships (Soweto) offer landmarks like the Hector Pieterson Memorial and Regina Mundi Church, while Liliesleaf Farm preserves the secret headquarters of the liberation movement. For panoramic views, the Carlton Centre’s 50th-floor observation deck overlooks the central business district. The northern suburbs of Sandton and Fourways provide modern commercial hubs like Nelson Mandela Square and the Montecasino entertainment complex.
