  • Regina Mundi
    Known as "the people's church," it played a pivotal role during the apartheid era. The church hosted political gatherings and provided refuge during police crackdowns. It’s also home to striking protest-themed stained-glass windows.
  • FNB Stadium
    The largest stadium in Africa, famously known for hosting the 2010 FIFA World Cup opening and final matches. This architectural marvel also holds deep political significance — it was the venue for Nelson Mandela’s first major speech after his release from prison in 1990 and his memorial service in 2013. Travelers get to admire its striking calabash-inspired design from the outside and learn about its iconic moments in South African history.
  • Soweto
    Short for South Western Townships, Soweto is a vibrant, historically rich urban area that played a central role in South Africa’s struggle for freedom. It’s a living museum of resistance, resilience, and culture — home to freedom fighters, political movements, and iconic landmarks. Beyond its past, Soweto today bursts with local art, music, street food, and community spirit. Exploring its streets offers travelers a deep, authentic connection to South Africa’s soul.
