Car Hire Bethlehem

The town started in an unfamiliar way in 1864 being built on a farm as a collection of worker’s houses and a church. It continued to grow with the importance of agriculture in the region until recently when its natural delights came to the fore and the town focused its efforts on tourism. It now has a reputation for friendly hospitality, great accommodation and superb food.

How do I get to Bethlehem?

The nearest airport to Bethlehem is at Bloemfontein some 150 miles to the north east. Bloemfontein Airport has daily scheduled flights from Johannesburg Airport and Cape Town Airport linking it with most of Africa, the Pacific and Europe. Onward travel can be a problem although a long distance bus that passes through Bethlehem is one option. A better way to get to Bethlehem is to hire a car at Bloemfontein and make the three hour journey by road.
 

Whilst in Bethlehem you can watch a top football match involving the local heroes, Free State Stars. The area outside the city is incredibly beautiful and can be explored by car or on foot using one of the many trails in the area. Be aware though of predatory animals and if possible take a guide with you. Back in town you’ll find where it all began in Pretoriuskloof where today, as well as the historic buildings, there’s a bird sanctuary. Finally, experience some of the fine dining accompanied by top quality local wines whilst staying there.

Free State is one of South Africa’s most beautiful regions and one of its least appreciated.
