Named after Nelson Mandela, it represents his legacy of bridging divides and uniting people. At night, the bridge is illuminated with colourful lights, making it a striking sight. Whether you’re exploring nearby attractions like the Market Theatre or just passing through, the Nelson Mandela Bridge is a must-see for its architectural beauty and historical significance.
