The Union Buildings in Pretoria serve as the official seat of South Africa's government, making them an iconic landmark. Even though weddings can’t be held inside, the stunning gardens and city views make it a favourite spot for couples to capture breathtaking wedding photos. Many lovebirds celebrate their special day there, drawn to its historic charm.

Visiting the Union Buildings' grounds is completely free, allowing guests to wander through scenic gardens, historic memorials, and iconic statues. While the buildings themselves remain off-limits, the outdoor space offers a terrace garden, tributes to past leaders, and landmarks honouring key events, including the 1956 Women’s March. A highlight is the towering Nelson Mandela statue, a symbol of unity and freedom.
