• Maboneng Precinct - Maboneng, meaning “Place of Light,” aptly describes a district that has quickly become a hub of creative energy for Johannesburg’s urban artists, designers, and entrepreneurs. Just a few years ago, this inner-city neighborhood was largely considered a no-go zone due to urban decay. Today, thanks to a plan to place art at the center of Johannesburg’s revitalization efforts, the now popular Maboneng cultural precinct is living up to its name as the “Place Of Light,” attracting tourists from around the world eager to witness and be part of this transformation.
• Kwa Mai Mai Traditional Market - One of the oldest markets in Johannesburg. Once an old horse stable, it now houses over 176 market stalls, offering traditional medicines, African attire, beaded items, artifacts, walking sticks, and crafts. A truly hidden treasure and an authentically genuine place to buy souvenirs to take back home.
• Collectors Treasury - We visit the largest second-hand bookstore in the Southern Hemisphere. There are books stacked everywhere in this 8-story building, plus LPs, maps, porcelain, and postcards.
• Carlton Centre - Built between 1969 and 1976 by the American architectural firm Skidmore, Owings, and Merrill, the Carlton Centre is a skyscraper offering panoramic views of the City of Gold. At 223 meters above Johannesburg, we will narrate the history of the city, from the gold rush in 1886 to the urban decline in the late ‘80s and ‘90s, and now the rebirth of the city center.
• Gandhi Square Precinct - Remember the lawyer? Gandhi Square is named after Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian leader and human rights activist who spent 21 years in South Africa and had his law firm in downtown Johannesburg.
• Chancellor House and Newtown tours - A walk through the Main Street mining district towards Chancellor’s House.

In the 1950s, the humble 3-story Chancellor House was home to Mandela and Tambo Attorneys, where they established South Africa’s first black-owned law firm. Opposite the old law firm now stands “The Shadow Boxing Sculpture,” designed by artist Marcos Cianfanelli based on a famous Bob Gosani image of young Mandela boxing.
