The Gautrain has hit us with a big bang! Virtually travelling with low flying speed at 160km/hour, it's definitely a unique experience to check out. New worlds to explore have been opened up with easy access to areas that would usually be quite a schlep to get to.

Exploring our City Centre (museum tour): P1 Pretoria (CBD Outer) |
|
Monday, 14 May 2012 16:46 |
 Did you know that Pretoria has close to 40 different museums? And on the 18th of May we are celebrating International Museum Day! We decided to tell you about an easy way to manoeuvre around midtown to squeeze in a few visits to our local heritage sites – the Gautrain bus system. Conveniently stopping walking distance from many of our lovely museums, it’s an easy way to explore our cultural history. Consider bunking work on Friday and explore a side of our city you don’t notice that often.
From the train station, follow the Outer Bus route (P1 Pretoria - CBD Outer).
* Please note: it is advised to be vigilant with regard to safety while travelling in the city centre. Do not carry valuable possessions in a visible manner.
