Pretoria, presently known as Tshwane, is one of South Africa’s 3 capital cities, serving as the executive de facto capital of the country. This city, lying about 50 km to the north of Johannesburg, will host the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
Pretoria is a summer rainfall area, having hot days interspersed with short afternoon thunderstorms and subsequent hail. Average daytime temperatures are 30°C in the summer and 20°Cin the winter, with the cold season being mild and dry.
The best time to visit Pretoria is in the spring. This is because nearly 70,000 exotic Jacaranda trees are usually in full bloom by October, giving the city a picturesque purple-coloured look and resulting in it being popularly called as ‘The Jacaranda City’. The city is home to about one million people.
It is a very clean and safe city, with amazing weather! The weather is very mild and winter not too cold and summer is not to hot! Very scenic and lots to do. Wildlife centres and parks surrounds the city and also inside the city. Pretoria has a very vibrant setting with Universities and colleges that gives it a great wibe!
Really enjoyed travelling there. I'm from zim. First time i was pretty scared because i had heard about the crime rate, but i did my shopping with about R5000-00 arross town with no incident at all.
I like spending time there, it a very nice place to take ur kid to, da place is to die for when walking around looking at GOD`S nature it just amazing, everything is just amazing at Pretoria zoo.
We tour a guided tour so can't say much about transpo, although there being no trams or trains to get you around the city would score a low one for me. City is great for the history.
I like Pretoria cause it has lot of transport and its not far from my place. It has lot of well known shops, clothing stores, resturants, hotels and lot of clubs
