Shopping...
Church Street
If you like big city roads Church Street is the perfect for you. It's one of the longest in the country (and the world). It's popular as a downtown shopping area.

Centurion Lake
It's a shopping mall we know, but sometimes these can be fun. Get your usual fix with art shops, discount stores, music, toys and game stores and much more.
Evergreens
You probably won't be able to take all the spoils from Evergreen market home but you can enjoy them while on holiday still. It's a fresh produce market.
Menlyn Shopping Centre
Another mall but what a mighty big one. You must enjoy malls though to endure this one because it is one of the biggest we have in the country.
Pretoria Flower Mart
While you’re in the throes of vacation bliss it might be a thoughtful gesture to surprise your partner with a bunch of flowers.
