Harare Zimbabwe

Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe, once known as Salisbury. Once a city of modern buildings, wide thoroughfares, numerous parks and gardens, it suffered from increasing disrepair thanks to Zimbabwe's economic downward spiral. However, there have recently been a few signs of improvement as the decision of the country to adopt the US dollar as its currency has begun to facilitate some investments. There is a strong appreciation for the city's cultural and historical heritage and a number of the older buildings have been preserved. MAIN TOURIST ATTRACTIONS: • The Mining Pension Fund Building at Central Avenue and Second Street is one example and many more are to be found along Robert Mugabe Road between Second Street and Julius Nyerere Way. • The National Gallery houses not only a valuable and interesting national collection but also hosts travelling international exhibitions and has a permanent display of some outstanding Shona soft-stone carvings. • The priceless collection of Rhodesiana and Africana in the form of diaries, notebooks and reports of various origins, are housed in the National Archives. Some of the original works of some of the greatest names in African exploration and missionary can be viewed. • Queen Victoria Museum. • Harare City Library. • The National Botanic Gardens, with more than 900 species of wild trees and shrubs from all over the country.
