Public art trail
Route 67
Gqeberha · Nelson Mandela Bay
A walking trail of 67 public artworks climbing from the Campanile at the harbour up through the old town to the Donkin Reserve, each piece marking a year of Nelson Mandela's public life.
Allow a couple of hours on foot. It is the best way to see the historic centre, the Donkin lighthouse and the giant South African flag above the city.
