The 10 Best Shopping Malls in Pretoria, Gauteng
Pretoria is a vision of purple, thanks to its plethora of blossoming trees that gave the South African metropolis its nickname: Jacaranda City. Give in to the animal magnetism of the National Zoological Gardens of South Africa, then get up close and personal with the big, bad kitties of the Cheetah Research and Breeding Centre. The buildings of Pretoria reflect diverse architectural styles and influences, creating a unique urban landscape.

I should start by saying that we have been living in a hotel that adjoins Menlyn Maine Central Square for the past few months so have spent a lot of time shopping and eating there. It really has everything you need - three supermarkets (Woolies, Super Spar, and Pick and Pay), a health food store, a book shop, a toy store, a camping goods store, jewelry stores, Vodacom, MTN, a woman's salon, several barber shops, a gym (Virgin Active), etc. There are also a handful of nice restaurants, all of which have both indoor and outdoor dining which is key during the time of COVID including Tashas, Salsa (a very hit or miss Mexican place), Koi (pan-Asian), Old Town Italy, Mythos (Greek), Starbucks, and my favorite coffee place in Pretoria, Mira (which is essentially a container that was converted into a small shop surrounded by a deck with tables, chairs, and umbrellas. Ask for the Coconut Mocha. You won't be disappointed. It's also a good place for kids because they can run around the central square/plaza while parents enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee. There are sculptures all around the shopping plaza many of which have interesting lighting at night. The restaurants get very busy on weekend nights. It's a great place to go for a weekend outing when you can combine a nice lunch with grocery shopping, a hair cut, a pedicure, and/or a trip to the gym. While it doesn't have nearly as many shops or restaurants as the nearby Menlyn Mall, it is much less overwhelming and you won't get lost trying to find your way around. The indoor/outdoor spaces are also much safer from a COVID perspective.
