Information about Pretoria
Why Pretoria? Where Johannesburg is sassy, sexy and fast, the suburb of Pretoria is a smaller more sedate and conventional city with a sunny temperate climate, exuberant gardens, historical buildings, museums, galleries, theatres and entertainment venues. Pretoria's buzzing urban life is centred around great eats and entertainment, and it comes alive in the evenings, thanks to its large university student population. And if it's authentic South African cuisine you're looking for, then look no further!
