Bloemfontein, the judicial capital of South Africa, is a significant city oozing with historical charm and Botanical beauty. Known for its Dutch architecture dating back to the 19th century, the city’s buildings seep in history. Among its top attractions is the delightfully tucked away Orchid House and Olive House, brimming with hospitable locals, intriguing museums, and tons of family-friendly activities.
It's relatively easy to hire a car in Bloemfontein, with several car rental agencies available within the city and at Bram Fischer International Airport. Compact cars might be a smart choice for city commuting, but if you plan to explore the broader Free State Province, a larger vehicle or an SUV would be more comfortable.
Bloemfontein's grid layout makes the city easy to navigate, and traffic is generally light. Parking, including street parking, is widely available and affordable. However, it's always wise to exercise caution and use secured parking lots, particularly at night.
From Bloemfontein, you're well placed to take day trips to surrounding cities like Kimberley and Colesberg. The city also serves as a great starting point for the scenic drive along the Maloti Route into the surrounding mountains.
Not to be missed are the Naval Hill Planetarium and Park, the Anglo Boer War Museum, and the Free State Botanical Garden. For a blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment, visit the Loch Logan Waterfront. The city also hosts music festivals and an international rose festival organized annually.
The official currency is the South African Rand. Credit cards are widely accepted, but it's advisable to carry some cash, particularly in more rural areas. Expenses in Bloemfontein are relatively low compared to larger South African cities, making it a great option for budget travelers.
Bloemfontein experiences a semi-arid climate. Most tourists visit in the Southern Hemisphere summer (December through February) or during the spring (September and October) when the city comes alive with blooming roses.
