Lonely Planet review

The Union Buildings are the headquarters of government. The impressive red sandstone structures - with a self-conscious imperial grandeur - are surrounded by expansive gardens and are home to the presidential offices. There are no tours here, but access to the expansive grounds and public areas of the building is free and self-guided seven days per week.

The buildings, designed by Sir Herbert Baker, are quite a long walk from the city centre; alternatively catch just about any bus heading east on Church St, and walk up through the gardens.
