Why Walk Johannesburg

Johannesburg — Jozi to locals — has transformed from a city you drove through to one you walk through. The Maboneng Precinct, a former industrial district, is now a thriving arts neighborhood with galleries, rooftop bars, and the Sunday-morning Arts on Main market. Constitution Hill, the site of a notorious apartheid-era prison, now houses the Constitutional Court, a beacon of democracy. The Apartheid Museum tells the full story of racial segregation and liberation. Braamfontein, the university district, buzzes with street food, record shops, and murals. Soweto, while requiring transport to reach, offers powerful walking tours through the neighborhood that shaped Nelson Mandela.
