Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is fondly known as the “City of roses” but this isn’t a reference to The England team. More than 4,000 rose trees have been planted in the rose garden at King’s Park, which was opened in 1925 by the Prince of Wales, Edward VIII.
There is a great deal of history to take in, especially for the British. The area was a key battle ground in the Boer War. In 1900 British forces captured the city and built a concentration camp nearby to house Boer women and children.
The National Women's Memorial, on the outskirts of the city, pays homage to the 45,000 women and children who died in these camps. A terrible past is no reflection of the beauty and excitement of the area.
Bloemfontein is extremely picturesque. With beautiful gardens and stunning architecture, it is a modern city that has an old charm about it.
Bloemfontein's friendliness and relative peace makes it a popular place to visit for people wanting to balance the urban chaos of Johannesburg with relative peace and quiet. There are a number of game parks near by which house a number of indigenous species, and are well worth visiting.
