Bring ID for Constitution Hill
Constitution Hill requires identification for entry—carry your passport or government ID even on a private city tour.
Wear comfortable shoes

Hydrate in the heat
Bottled water is included but bring a refillable bottle for a full day in Joburg’s sun.
Time visits to avoid traffic
Plan museum entry early in the day—midday traffic in the CBD can extend transfer times between sites.
