Monuments · Historic Sites · Nature & Parks
A hub of research and education, Pretoria remains a quiet city filled with significant historic buildings and fascinating museums. What visitors remember most from their Pretoria vacation is the city's cultural diversity and architectural inventiveness. As you sightsee in Pretoria, you'll observe buildings that combine 19th-century British, German, and Dutch colonial designs with various modern influences. Popular places to visit in Pretoria include botanical and zoological gardens, forts, monuments, government institutions, as well as temples and churches of all major religions.
