Getting Around

🚕
Gautrain Airport Shuttle plus Gautrain R220

OR Tambo International Airport → Bohemian Hotel, Pretoria

50 min · Every 30 minutes · 05:00-20:30 (Mon-Fri), 05:00-19:00 (Sat-Sun)

💡 Take the Gautrain from the airport to Centurion Station, then a metered taxi for the last 12km to Bohemian. Avoid the direct airport taxi rip-offs.

🚂
Gautrain (Pretoria Station) R45

Centurion Station → Pretoria Station

10 min · Every 15 minutes during peak, every 30 minutes off-peak · 05:00-20:30 (Mon-Fri), 05:00-19:00 (Sat-Sun), closed Sundays and public holidays

💡 Use a Gautrain card – single tickets are slower. From Pretoria Station, it's a 10-minute taxi to Bohemian. This option only works if you arrive before 20:30 and on a weekday.

🚕
Uber Black or Bolt Premium R450

OR Tambo International Airport → Bohemian Hotel, Pretoria

40 min · On demand · 24/7

💡 Book immediately after collecting luggage. Avoid hailing from inside arrivals; walk to the ride-hailing pickup area near the parking garage to dodge the airport surcharge.

🚌

Pretoria Station → Bohemian Hotel (near Church Street)

25 min · Every 20 minutes peak, every 40 minutes off-peak · 05:30-21:00 (Mon-Fri), 07:00-18:00 (Sat-Sun)

💡 Pay with a tap card (Tshwane Smart Card) – cash isn't accepted. Get off at the 'Mears Street' stop and walk two blocks. The bus can be crowded at 07:30, so avoid rush hour with luggage.

Top Attractions in Pretoria

Church Square Free

💡 Best seen on a weekday morning when the area feels alive. Stick to the square; the surrounding streets can be dodgy after dark.

Union Buildings Free

💡 Go early on a weekday to walk the gardens without crowds. Security checks are quick but avoid peak times around 9am.

Jan Cilliers Park Free

💡 Tucked away, so few tourists. Bring water; no cafe. Best in October when jacarandas bloom purple.

Pretoria National Botanical Garden

💡 Entry is 45 rand for adults. Pack lunch and use the picnic areas near the dam. Avoid weekends if you want quiet.

Voortrekker Monument

💡 Entry is 80 rand for adults. The climb to the top gives great views. Visit on a weekday for fewer people and cheaper parking.
