About Johannesburgo

Johannesburgo, dinámico corazón económico de Sudáfrica: historia poderosa, townships vibrantes, arte y punto de partida de muchos safaris.

El Museo del Apartheid cuenta con gran fuerza la historia de la segregación y la resistencia, y Constitution Hill, una antigua prisión donde estuvieron recluidos tanto Nelson Mandela como Mahatma Gandhi, alberga el Tribunal Constitucional. En Soweto, Vilakazi Street es famosa como la calle donde vivieron dos premios Nobel de la Paz, Mandela y Desmond Tutu, y el Memorial Hector Pieterson recuerda el levantamiento estudiantil de 1976.
