Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, is a place where the beauty, history, and culture are mixed together into one package. Located in a fertile valley just north of Johannesburg, Pretoria is famous for its wide-roads lined with trees, the imposing colonial-style buildings, and the seasonal flowering of jacaranda trees that give the city a magnificent purple hue in spring.
Pretoria has been through a lot and is still the same city that was once the capital of the Boer Republic of the Transvaal. The impressive Union Buildings, which were a part of the British Empire's plans, designed by the English architect Sir Herbert Baker, are in the middle of the city. They are still the South African government's official seat and the main power hub of the country. One can visit the terraced gardens and get a panorama of the city plus a tinge of national pride.
The history lovers will never get enough of the content the Voortrekker Monument, a colossal tribute to the country’s early settlers, and the Freedom Park, where the nation's greats are remembered and the struggle for democracy retraced, can unleash. The country’s major museums like the Transvaal Museum and Kruger house are but a few spots marking the cultural and historical depth.
Besides its captivating history, Pretoria provides a very peaceful and classy vibe. The National Zoological Gardens, Pretoria National Botanical Garden, and the nearby Groenkloof Nature Reserve are perfect places to retreat to nature and calm one’s mind. The city has a modern side too which can be seen through its buzzing markets, artistic galleries, and eating places that combine tradition and creativity.
