Robben Island Cape Town South Africa
A pity you don't get to walk around freely anymore. I missed feeling the spirit of this place. Having to sit in a bus with 40 others and then getting rushed through the prison was very disappointing.
It's obvious. The place of horror for many prisoners held here since 1650s. Prison , built by prisoners , for political prisoners . Most famous for Nelson Mandela being imprisoned here.
A history lesson with a real political prisoner tour guide .
Try to get yassin Mohammed as guide , brilliant speaker
Memorable. Not to be forgotten. - Mutenda Tshipala
Very interesting museum. A must visit when in CT. Make sure to pay an extra R15 for the guided tour. - Clara A
All of the tour guides are former political prisoners; very cool! Be sure to buy tickets well in advance online (I bought mine before I even arrived in Cape Town). Tour takes 4 hours with return. - Nate S
I had to change my trip plans to visit robben island .. I highly recommend booking earlier .. They are usually full for days - Abdullah Driaan
Read the book Long walk to Freedom and then make many questions to the exprisioner. Amazing experience. - Nicolas De Gasperi
My new favourite shopping centre. It's not too big, its on a perfect setting and there's an abundance of coffee shops! - Louwrens Lemmer
The pile of stones at the front of the quarry was formed on 1995 when Mandela returned to the quarry as the first black President of South Africa. 1200 other former prisoners put their stones on top. - pɹoɟuɐs@
