You step out of an air‑conditioned minibus onto a wide, sunlit avenue and the city breathes around you: traffic hums, street vendors call, and the architecture—Victorian facades, modernist towers—frames the walk toward the Apartheid Museum. The tour threads together Johannesburg’s civic landmarks: the panoramic Carlton Centre viewpoint, the symbols of law and memory at Constitutional Hill, the narrow lane outside Chancellors House where Mandela once practiced law, and finally the museum whose exhibits chart the mechanics of segregation.
