Robben Island is one of South Africa’s most iconic historical sites, located just off the coast of Cape Town. It is best known as the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 18 of his 27 years of incarceration during apartheid. Today, the island is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a powerful symbol of the struggle for freedom and human rights. Visitors can take a ferry from the V&A Waterfront and join guided tours, often led by former political prisoners, offering a deeply moving and educational experience.
