Pretoria

About Pretoria

Pretoria serves as the administrative capital of South Africa, situated in Gauteng province in the country's northeast. Home to roughly 740,000 people, it is the seat of the national government and widely recognised for its jacaranda-lined avenues, which bloom in vivid purple each spring. The city offers a range of experiences: the Javett Art Centre showcases contemporary art, while Liliesleaf Farm carries significant historical weight as a site connected to the anti-apartheid resistance. Green spaces such as Bengal Street Park and Westview 2 Park 2 provide welcome breathing room across the city.
