Sightseeing

Whether you are new to Pretoria or a born-and-bred local, the view from the Union Buildings is always special. The architecture, gardens and views are all impressive. It is a great place to watch the sun set

Getting Around

Bus QHS1 travels between Hatfield and Queenswood. The closest drop-off in in front of the DIRCO (OR Tambo Building) on Soutpansberg Road. Please note there have been some issues with between Uber drivers and local taxi drivers. I recommend taking the Gautrain bus if possible, alternatively walk south down Jan Shoba St to Duncan Yard if no Ubers are available at the station
