Explore Pretoria: Where History Meets Modernity

Pretoria is the administrative capital of South Africa. It is known for the rich history and many important monuments. Getting there - I hired a driver/ local guide for a day tour to Pretoria from Johannesburg, this is the best way to learn about local history and culture. Attractions - 1. Nelson Mandela Starue Highlights - This huge statue is a memorial and tribute to the legacy of South Africa's first black president, Nelson Mandela. It symbolizes resilience and the struggle for freedom and equality. 2. Union Buildings & Union Buildings Gardens Highlights - This is a stunning blend of lush landscapes and historical significance. The gardens offer breathtaking views of the city and the iconic Union Buildings. 3. Voortrekker Monument Highlights - This is a granite monument commemorating the Afrikaner pioneers' journey. There is a informative museum inside about the Voortrekker's journey and you can panoramic views of the city from the top level. #localtourguides #100waysoftravel #awesomepic #southafrica #pretoria #travellerswonderland

Church Square

Church Square Church Square, originally Market Square, is the square at the historic centre of the city of Pretoria, South Africa. The square's most prominent feature is the statue of the late Boer leader and president of the South African Republic . This place is lovely to see but didn’t feel particularly safe to walk around alone. There were a lot of loiterers making it feel unsafe however the architecture was amazing to see #wintergetaway
