Built on a colorful yet controversial past and evolving into a dynamic future, the jacaranda city (so nicknamed after its famous blossoming jacaranda trees) offers a treasure-trove of breath-taking adventures, new and exciting experiences and unforgettable memories. Pretoria boasts a strategic location, within easy reach of Johannesburg International Airport, and is a gateway to many favorite tourist destinations, from the Kruger National Park and other popular game lodges to the beaches of Kwa-Zulu Natal. The city is renowned, both locally and internationally, for having some of the top award-winning restaurants in South Africa. The choice ranges from a la carte, buffet, international, traditional South African and African cuisine to family restaurants, steakhouses, diners and fast-food outlets. A modern State Theater, with acoustics comparable with the best in the world, stages musicals, operas, ballets and drama on a regular basis. Popular alternative venues cater for cabarets and township jazz.
Although Pretoria is a bustling city, it is in tune with nature, with beautiful gardens and jacaranda-lined streets. It is home to variety of nature reserves, including the National Botanical Gardens and the National Zoological Gardens, which houses a host of indigenous and exotic bird and animal species in spacious surrounds.
Pretoria is not only the seat of executive power in South Africa but also a display cabinet of the country's cultural heritage. The culturally minded visitor has a choice of 35 museums, housing displays which rage from pioneering traditions, colonial and classical European culture to mystical eastern and colorful African cultures, as well as agriculture, forensics, science and history. Art routs, galleries and art museums feature a selection of both local and international works of art.
