If you have 2 hours to spare in Pretoria, visit this monument. If you don't enjoy architecture and history, don't waste your time - you will be disappointed. I enjoyed my time (3 hours) because I admired the architecture, the story telling through beautiful sculptures and magnificent paintings. When you are high up the Voortrekker monument and look down below... More

Lots of history for South Africans. Such a beautiful structure, and to think it was built so many years ago.

I was thinking what to write about this and honestly... there is nothing good or bad. It's a building...boring as hell and basically nothing more than a few indications of colonial people.

The monument building is amazing with interesting gardens around it. The museum is badly maintained and doesn't seem to have changed in the last 10 years. Some overpriced curios and food is on sale with most of the activities being advertised no longer taking place.
