Why visit Houses of Parliament
The centre of South Africa's democratic institutions and a key stop for understanding the country's political history.
The Victorian and modern architecture together tell the story of the country's constitutional evolution.
Where Houses of Parliament is
Parliament Street, immediately alongside the Company's Garden — a short walk from St George's Cathedral and the museums.
What to expect
An exterior visit and short walk around the perimeter, with commentary on the buildings, the National Assembly, and the Tuynhuys presidential offices next door.
Public guided tours of the interior may be available depending on the parliamentary calendar and current security arrangements — Wanderer confirms availability at the time of booking.
How to include Houses of Parliament in a Wanderer private tour

Practical tips
- Photography of the exterior is fine; interior photography restricted.
- Public tour availability changes; treat any advertised schedule as provisional.
