Pretoria's Top Sights

Pretoria’s historical and natural heritage is showcased through these five landmarks. The massive granite Voortrekker Monument commemorates Afrikaner history, while the Kruger House and the Victorian-style Melrose House—where the Treaty of Vereeniging was signed in 1902—offer insights into the city's political past. For natural history, the Ditsong Museum houses significant hominid fossils including 'Mrs. Ples'. The Pretoria National Botanical Garden spans 76 hectares, divided by a central quartzite ridge into distinct savanna and forest biomes featuring indigenous South African flora.
