South Africa is a beautiful country and the city of Bloemfontein is among the most livable and stunning cities in the country. The city is lovingly and popularly referred to by many names such as the “flower spring”, the “spring of Bloem (bloom)”, the “place of cheetahs”, “the city of roses” and the “fountain of flowers”. There are so many references to flowers because of the annual rose festival that is held at Bloemfontein, and also because of the fact that the city has a number of beautiful gardens. There are many attractions in the city such as the Oliewenhuis Art Gallery, the Naval Hill & Franklin Nature Reserve, The Orchid House, The White Horse, The Botanical Garden, The National Women’s Monument, Windmill Casino & Entertainment Centre, the State President Swart Park and more.
