They’re beautiful! You get to see a mini skyline of Pretoria and some cool statues. People also go there in the evening to exercise so you can do that as well. You can also buy some African things there from various ladies and gentlemen.

I have visited this building many time during my lifetime, and it has always impressed me.
However, I’ve not been there for the past 20 years, and I don’t think I’ll visit it again in a long time.
The area in front of the building has now been fenced in and not accessible from the road. Hawkers are now selling food and drinks on the pavement.
I certainly won’t go out of my way to visit it again...a bit of a waste of time.
First get a permit from the department of historical interest and arrange a time and a person (Gide) to show you around. PLACE IS VERRY BIG AND NOT ALL LOCATIONS ARE OPEN TO THE PUBLIC .
A really nice area for a walk or an area for a picnic. You can walk around this lovely area. The grounds are well maintained and the huge statue of Nelson Mandela is a fitting tribute to a great man.
Beautiful building but the garden is a big letdown. Clearly the gardens are no longer enjoying proper attention. The building can not be accessed but could be seen behind the upper embankment was nice. The view over the city would be the only reason to visit this site.
The imposing, elegant Union Buildings in Pretoria stand as a monument to the British and Afrikaaner forebears who helped to found and build South Africa. A great statue of Nelson Mandela stands on a hill below the Union Buildings and should be part of any visit to this seat of government in the Executive Capital of South Africa.
