Brush up on your history at Long March to Freedom in Century City, one of South Africa’s most distinctive outdoor exhibitions. Featuring 100 life-size bronze sculptures, the exhibition pays tribute to the country’s most influential historical figures and freedom fighters.
From Nelson Mandela and Desmond Tutu to Walter Sisulu, Long March to Freedom takes visitors through pivotal moments in South Africa’s journey, paying homage to those who fought tirelessly for democracy.
South Africa’s Story in Bronze
Set against the backdrop of Table Mountain, this heritage tourism attraction is fun for all ages! As you wander among the 100 life-size bronze sculptures of liberation heroes, you can experience the country’s 350-year journey towards freedom and democracy.
Created by Dali Tambo, the project was inspired by a promise to his father, Oliver Tambo, to honour him and his peers. Rather than focusing on a single icon, the exhibition celebrates the collective efforts of those who shaped the nation. Since opening in 2019, the site has continued to evolve, with educational programmes bringing school groups face-to-face with the stories that shaped the nation.
Reflect and Unwind
After walking through the exhibition, visit the Rotary Peace Garden to reflect and take it all in. If you have time, try the curated wine-tasting experience featuring five wines from emerging Black winemakers, each accompanied by their inspiring stories.
Plan Your Visit
Whether you’re a history enthusiast or seeking something beyond the usual Cape Town attractions, Long March to Freedom is well worth a visit.
Ticket prices: South Africans and permanent residents: R20 for a self-guided tour; international visitors: R75 for a guided tour; children under 6: free.

In today’s competitive global travel market, partnerships are not just advantageous; they are vital. For Cape Town Tourism (CTT), collaboration drives success by increasing visitor numbers, improving international visibility, and strengthening the city’s economic impact.
When destinations work effectively with government, airlines, and industry, the results are clear: visitors are inspired; they book, arrive, and spend across the city.
Accordingly, Cape Town Tourism today signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Air France–KLM South Africa, emphasising the importance of airline alliances in opening international markets and promoting long-haul travel.
“Over the past three years, we have consistently increased our capacity both into and out of Cape Town in response to strong and sustained demand,” says Wilson Tauro, Country Manager for Southern Africa.

“What was once largely a seasonal inbound market has evolved into a dynamic, year-round flow of both international visitors and outbound local travellers. In response to this sustained demand, we have extended our seasonal capacity to support consistent and balanced travel throughout the year. Our partnership with Cape Town Tourism enables us to go beyond operating flights and invest in meaningful, on-the-ground experiences set against the remarkable backdrop of Cape Town for experiences that showcase both the city itself and the European and American destinations within our network. Together, we are creating authentic touchpoints that elevate the journey for inbound visitors while expanding global access and inspiration for local travellers. It is this shared, long-term commitment that continues to strengthen Cape Town’s role within our network strategy.”
Airline partnerships, including more frequent flights and priority seasonal routes, have become game changers for Cape Town’s tourism economy, expanding reach, increasing demand, and supporting year-round travel. Better air access strengthens Cape Town’s position as a globally connected destination and makes it easier for visitors to choose Cape Town.
Enver Duminy, CEO of Cape Town Tourism, emphasises that tourism growth relies on trust, alignment, and collaboration.
“Working closely with international partners such as Air France–KLM creates vital links to key long-haul markets, expanding choices and opportunities for visitors and the wider tourism sector. It helps us broaden our reach, generate demand more quickly, and keep Cape Town competitive on the global stage. Strategically, the partnership is built around shared goals, strengthening international connectivity, supporting demand across both peak and off-peak seasons, and ensuring Cape Town remains at the forefront of international travellers’ minds.”
The City of Cape Town’s Mayoral Committee Member for Economic Growth and Tourism, James Vos, says the partnership approach is key to unlocking sustained tourism growth for the destination.
“Enhanced air connectivity is one of the most effective ways to unlock economic growth in Cape Town. Each new route and increased frequency support jobs, facilitate trade, and provide local businesses with opportunities to benefit from greater visitor spending. Partnerships like this help ensure that tourism growth translates into tangible economic benefits for the city and its residents.”
Looking ahead, these alliances turn global interest into actual arrivals and help build a more resilient and future-ready visitor economy for the city.

Cape Town, Tuesday 19 August 2025 — Tourists are not only enjoying Cape Town’s world-famous views and dynamic culture scene, but they are also actively helping keep the city working. Cape Town Tourism’s latest Economic Value of Tourism report reveals that in 2024, domestic and international visitors directly supported over 106,000 jobs, accounting for 6.9% of total employment in the city.
A total of 2.4 million overnight tourists arrived in the Mother City in 2024, injecting R24.5 billion into the local economy through direct tourism spending and generating a noticeable economic ripple effect across industries such as transport, accommodation, food, culture, and attractions.
“The standout figure: One job is created or sustained for every 10 tourists. That makes every booking a significant contribution to employment in Cape Town,” says Enver Duminy, CEO of Cape Town.
“Every tourist who arrives in our beautiful city, walks our streets, dines at our restaurants, and books a bed contributes directly to someone’s livelihood. In Cape Town, tourism is more than just a holiday. It’s jobs for local guides, chefs, drivers, street artists, concierges, and so many more. It’s opportunity, growth, and stability. Every tourist helps keep someone employed, and in a country where every job matters, that kind of impact is huge.”
Crucially, this success depends on the work of Destination Marketing Organisations like Cape Town Tourism. By promoting the city globally, attracting high-value visitors, and working closely with industry partners, DMOs ensure that tourism growth translates directly into jobs, business growth, and sustainable economic impact.
International Tourists on the Rise
The report also highlights a 6% year-on-year growth in international arrivals and a 5% increase in bed nights sold, underscoring Cape Town’s continued appeal as a top global destination.
While international arrivals in 2024 were still below pre-pandemic levels, at 68% of 2019 volumes compared to a national average of 87%, the growth trajectory remains positive. Recovery is well underway, and signs for the second half of 2025 are even more encouraging.
ForwardKeys’ latest forecasts predict a 4.6% increase in international arrivals at Cape Town International Airport from July to December 2025. The United Kingdom, Germany, and the USA.
Lady Gaga gave a free concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night in front of at least a million fans who poured onto Copacabana Beach for the biggest show of her career. The Mother Monster, as she is known, kicked off the show at around 22:10 p.m. local time with her 2011 song “Bloody Mary.” Cries of joy rose from the tightly-packed fans who sang and danced shoulder-to-shoulder on the vast stretch of sand. Lady Gaga performed her classic hits, including “Poker Face” and “Alejandro,” switching between an array of dresses including one with the colours of the Brazilian flag. Madonna also turned Copacabana Beach into a massive dance floor last year.
The large-scale performances are part of an effort led by City Hall to boost economic activity after Carnival and New Years’ Eve festivities and the upcoming month-long Saint John’s Day celebrations in June. Rio’s City Hall said in a recent report that around 1.6 million people were expected to attend Lady Gaga’s concert and that the show should inject at least 600 million reais (some $106 million) into Rio’s economy. Similar concerts are scheduled to take place every year in May at least until 2028. Lady Gaga arrived in Rio in the early hours of Tuesday.
The city has been alive with Gaga-mania since, as it geared up to welcome the pop star for her first show in the country since 2012. Rio’s metro employees danced to Lady Gaga’s 2008 hit song “LoveGame” and gave instructions for Saturday in a video. A free exhibition celebrating her career sold out. While the vast majority of attendees were from Rio, the event also attracted Brazilians from across the country and international visitors.
More than 500,000 tourists poured into the city in the days leading up to the show, more than double the initial forecast, according to data from the local bus station and Tom Jobim airport, Rio’s City Hall said in a statement on Friday. Rio officials have a history of organizing huge concerts on Copacabana Beach. Madonna’s show drew an estimated 1.6 million fans last year, while 4 million people flooded onto the beach for a 1994 New Year’s Eve show by Rod Stewart in 1994.
