Rich in history and show-stopping natural beauty the Free State welcomes with its big skies and wide-open pasturelands, charming farming towns, and grand vistas at the foothills of Lesotho’s Maluti Mountains.
There is perhaps nowhere better to start your holiday in the Free State than the capital, Bloemfontein. Its position on a Highveld plateau at an elevation of 1400m is a fitting symbol for its role as the judicial capital of South Africa. Bloemfontein though is much more than a home of legislature and courtrooms. Famous for its roses (the city’s name literally translates to ‘flower fountain’) and an annual rose festival in October, Bloemfontein celebrates its flora.
Popular tourist attractions in Bloemfontein include picnicking in the sculpture gardens of the famous Cape Dutch Oliewenhuis Art Gallery, exploring the 70-hectares and 400 different plant species on display in the National Botanical Gardens, and a not-to-be-missed drive to the top of Naval Hill where panoramic views are interrupted only by giraffe and more in the nature reserve.
Explore the best of the city from the hotel comfort of the two Southern Sun hotels in Bloemfontein, the Southern Sun and SUN1. While both are ideally positioned in the heart of the city, SUN1 Bloemfontein’s appeal lies in its mix of budget-friendly modern comfort, and Southern Sun Bloemfontein proudly sits as one of TripAdvisor’s top hotels in the city.
From Bloemfontein a 3-hour scenic drive east towards Lesotho will see you skirt the border of the country on your way to Golden Gate Highlands National Park. Hiking, horse riding, and cultural experiences await as well as jaw-dropping scenery. Nearby, the artist hideaway of Clarens is a haven for the arts and creativity. From galleries to breweries and fine dining to padstals, it is as charming as it is inspiring.
