We first travel across Johannesburg to the south of the city to visit the Apartheid Museum (closed on Mondays!), which opened its doors in 2002. Here visitors embark on a historical voyage of discovery, a personal exploration of the past that examines the story of apartheid right up to the first democratic elections held in 1994. The tour of the museum lasts approximately two hours.

We then continue to the Constitution Hill precinct, bordered by the inner-city neighbourhoods of Braamfontein and Hillbrow. It is here that South Africa's new Constitutional Court opened in March 2004. The new court building is, most appropriately, established on the site of the Johannesburg Fort, built as a fortress in 1898 and later converted to one of the country's most notorious prisons – popularly known as “Number Four”.

The Fort closed its doors in 1983. Your visit here includes the museum that has been established in the old prison (closed on Saturday afternoons and Sundays!) and will bring home the significance of this development and what it means for the future of Johannesburg.
