Ladysmith

South Africa

Good for those who like quiet towns and historical sites, not for people seeking busy or fast-paced places. Best time to visit is April to September, when the weather is cool. Budget is about 300-500 Rands. Travel between areas is quick, walking is enough in town. Must-see: Ladysmith Railway Station and Museum of the Boer War. Skip Ladysmith Mall, it's not lively. Don't buy souvenirs at high prices in the city center.
