Bulawayo.

Zimbabwe's second city grew up as the hub of the country's railway network, and its wide colonial-era avenues — famously laid out broad enough to turn a full ox-wagon team — still carry that frontier-era grandeur. The Bulawayo Railway Museum's steam locomotives and the Natural History Museum's extensive wildlife and geology collections make it one of the country's best cities for culture and heritage, while its position near the Matobo Hills and on the road to Hwange makes it a natural touring base for southern Zimbabwe.
