We drove right up to the front and could easily park there. The buildings and grounds were beautiful. It would have been nice if we had been able to enter too.Full review by UKfamily123

This past weekend I went to visit the Union Building. What a splendid way to spend a Saturday. There is so much history and beautiful heritage to explore and learn about and also the view from there …Full review by JessyBlooms
Can we picnic as a group in the union buildings garden during the week. Is there a cost? Do we need to book?
A:
No cost just be careful, do not want to become a statistic. Would rather go to botanical garden for picnics safer because its closed of from the outside.
We are visiting the Union Buildings in February. Could you please tell me if there is a car park? Thankyou Eileen

On the upper level where the main building is and where you can walk down to the gardens: There is parking space available for private vehicles on a first-come-first-served basis. The parallel parking is demarcated for larger tour busses/vehicles. On the lower level on the main road (view from the bottom), there is no parking available.

There is no need to book, the place is open to public except the government offices side. However, I suggest you move as group and do not carry any valuable items in the evening, My TIP- Always be observant of individuals moving up and down the parks , all day long. You find them in almost all the parks. So try to stay away from parks in the evenings
Hi, We are visiting in September and staying at the Sheraton hotel, close to the Union Buildings. Is it safe to walk and visit the buildings and gardens ?
A:
During the day it should be fine. Sadly, South Africa is a crime riddled country, so you should always be alert. We often go to the Union Buildings for walks or to take photos and we …
During the day it should be fine. Sadly, South Africa is a crime riddled country, so you should always be alert. We often go to the Union Buildings for walks or to take photos and we have never had a problem. I would most definitely not recommend you go walking there in the dark. Seeing you will be visiting in September you may be lucky enough to see Jacaranda trees in bloom. By the way, taking photos from the Union Buildings you will see Pretoria towards the south, if you can, visit my favourite place...Freedom Park. There you will be able to take photos of Pretoria to the north - you will be able to take awesome photos of the Union Buildings from there. I hope you have a good and safe experience visiting Pretoria.
