Soweto's main attractions are its apartheid-era memorial sites, concentrated in the Orlando West neighbourhood. Most visitors take a guided tour — either walking or by bicycle — which provides essential context and supports local guides. The key sites can be covered in a half day: the Hector Pieterson Museum, Mandela House, and the Tutu House on Vilakazi Street. Further afield, Regina Mundi Church and the Orlando Towers are worth adding if you have a full day.
