Mandela House and Vilakazi Street - one of our top recommendations
Visiting the Mandela House and exploring Vilakazi Street provides a powerful and intimate connection to South African history, particularly the struggle against apartheid. Mandela House, now a museum, offers a glimpse into Nelson Mandela's life and the events that unfolded within its walls. Vilakazi Street itself is unique as it is the only street in the world to have housed two Nobel Peace Prize laureates, Nelson Mandela and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
At Houghton Place we take time to chat with our guests, understand their interests and make recommendations.

Constitution Hill - another of our 'must visit' Johannesburg experiences.
Constitution Hill, a human rights precinct in Johannesburg, is a powerful and moving place to visit due to its significance in South Africa's history and its current role as a center for heritage, education, and tourism. It's a site where you can learn about South Africa's struggle against apartheid, see where prominent figures like Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi were imprisoned, and explore the Constitutional Court, the foundation of South Africa's democracy.
