Information
Pretoria

Pretoria

Pretoria is one of South Africa's most well developed cities, and has a charm that makes it a hit with visitors.

Pretoria - today also called Tshwane - was founded in 1855 and declared the capital of the South African Republic, which was the Boer (it’s Afrikaans for farmer) republic in Transvaal.

The president of the republic, Marthinus Pretorius, named it after his father, Andries Pretorius, who had become the national hero of the Voortrekkers after his victory over the Zulu kingdom in the famous battle at Blood River.

Pretoria is a relatively small city in comparison to Johannesburg, but there is a quaint elegance about the place with some fabulous architecture and landmarks on show, including the Palace of Justice, the Old Capitol Theatre, the Paul Kruger statue, the Tudor Chambers the ‘Ou Raadsaal' and the General Post Office, designed by John Cleland.

Pretoria is the home of the 2007 Super 14 champions the Blue Bulls, who play at Loftus Versfeld Stadium.

Traditional South African steakhouses, Pizzerias, pub grub and much more is available in this diverse city. ‘Read more’ for a few ideas.
