Pretoria was my home town for over 30 years

by nora_south_africa - last update: Mar 10, 2007

Pretoria is a beautiful city, lots of historical buildings to see, the city has a few camp sites, many parks, big shopping centres and the magalliesberg mountain surrounding the city.Most suburbs have busses into town although most people avoid the city centre. Pretoria does have crime so lock up and dont display jewelery and bags, hold on to it. But A visit to Pretoria can be a wonderful experince.

Pretoria people love jogging!!

Weekends many People from Pretoria go jogging, there are many jogging clubs and most saturdays there are marathons or half marathons. Its a lovely city and a pleasure for joggers.. many parks to jog through and lots of good scenery.. Most of the better suburbs people have really amazing gardens...

 Thanks for visiting my Tallinn page. Lots of great tips and photos here on Pretoria! Outside of the city, it looks like a great place to experience nature -- and to catch big fish! Best from New Jersey, Bill
