Pretoria - Tour Panorámico de la capital administrativa - en Español (Servicio en Privado)

Explore the Enchanting City of Pretoria!

Nestled among the majestic Magaliesberg mountains, lies the picturesque city of Pretoria, founded in 1855 and named in honor of the legendary Afrikaner leader Andries Pretorius. Affectionately known as "The Jacaranda City," Pretoria comes to life every spring when thousands of jacarandas bloom, painting the streets a vibrant purple that heralds the arrival of the most colorful season of the year.

Pretoria is not just a city of natural beauty; it is also one of South Africa's three capitals, serving as the administrative capital and the heart of the country's governmental power. Here you will find the impressive Union Buildings, the official seat of the South African government, housing the president's offices and the presidential residence Mahlamba Ndlopfu. Strolling around its surroundings is like walking through the pages of modern South African history.

But Pretoria is more than politics and history; it is a multicultural melting pot, being the second city with the most embassies in the world, after Washington DC. This concentration of government offices, ministries, and diplomatic missions gives it a cosmopolitan air that is reflected in its cultural and architectural diversity.

For history and architecture buffs, Pretoria offers a variety of old buildings with unique architectural styles and fascinating museums. You must visit the Voortrekker Monument, a monumental work that tells the epic and sometimes tragic story of the Afrikaner pioneers, depicted in one of the largest and most detailed friezes in the world. It's a visit that will leave you breathless!
