Recensioni Pietermaritzburg

Overall rating 7
Overall Guide : Good place to study. Differing levels of safety depending on area, but generally very safe. Entertainment a little deficient, but present. Transport very functional, but limited at certain times of the day like after five. Marked cabs charge quite high ... Leggi tutto and close to unreasonable after five. Marked cabs are safest but safety comes at a price. Standard of living is affordable unless its in your nature to be flashy. I have enjoyed my six years in this place.

Overall Guide : There are quite a few entertainment places but no jazz clubs to cater for more mature groups. Too congested and dirty, needs a bit of cleaning and maintenance both by the municipality and residence. If you wanna chill out at the ... Leggi tutto mall like on Friday, shops close too early at 18h00. Should at least extend shopping hours to 20h00 or 21h00.
