Currency
South African rand (ZAR). Cards are accepted almost everywhere.

About Bloemfontein
Bloemfontein is South Africa's judicial capital and the Free State's main city — a university town with wide streets, a strong rugby culture and a well-preserved historic centre.
It sits almost exactly midway between Johannesburg and Cape Town, which makes it a natural stop on a road trip and a short hop by air from either. The Free State's sandstone country and the southern Drakensberg are within a few hours' drive.
Getting in from the airport
Bram Fischer International (BFN) is about 10 km from the city centre, roughly fifteen minutes. Car hire and e-hailing are available at the terminal.
