Highlights

Ponte City Tour – Johannesburg’s Iconic Landmark


Visit Ponte City, the tallest residential building in Africa. Rising 54 stories above Johannesburg, this cylindrical tower – often compared to Paris’s Montparnasse – offers the best views of the city and a history as dramatic as its skyline.


From its glamorous beginnings in the 1970s, to its fall into a “vertical slum,” and its transformation into a vibrant hub today, Ponte’s story will captivate you. Our tour takes you inside the building, then out into Hillbrow for a walking tour of this dynamic neighborhood.


With transport, lunch, and three tours daily, everything is taken care of. Whether you want to admire the view, dive into the building’s history, or explore the city’s heart, this experience has it all.

We will go through the early days of grand opulence, government red-lining and social oppression.
