Harare is the capital of Zimbabwe as well as\u00a0the most populous city in the country\u00a0with a population of about 2 million. Most of the developments in Zimbabwe are concentrated in this city, probably because it is the capital city and most of the commercial activities go on here. If you have been to Zimbabwe, then you will certainly agree with me that there are lots of sites in Harare that are as pretty as what you’ll find in London or one those beautifully more developed cities around the world. Harare\u00a0is truly a beautiful city to live in and these amazing photos of Harare\u00a0will surely wow you and make you believe that Harare\u00a0compares to cities like London and New York. Enjoy the photos:<\/p>\n
This is an international Hotel housed in a 20-story semi-circular structure in the commercial centre. It is located at\u00a054 Park Lane, Julius Nyerere Way, Harare.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n It is popularly known as\u00a0Meikles, located in\u00a0central Harare.\u00a0Thomas Meikle (1862-1939) together with his other two brothers\u00a0John Meikle (1868-1949) and Stewart Meikle left Scotland and came to South Africa.\u00a0In 1915, Thomas Meikle opened\u00a0Meikles Hotel. The company was listed on the\u00a0Zimbabwe Stock Exchange in 1996.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Surprisingly enough, Harare can arguably be said to be more beautiful in the night, with the lights giving the beauty of London and class of Paris.\u00a0 Not many photos of Harare can beat the photos taken in the night.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Photos of Harare that concentrate on the city’s tallest buildings always make you feel you are looking at a picture of somewhere very far off the continent. These buildings do not just have the height, but also the architectural excellence that emphasizes their elegance and dominance. Some of the tallest buildings in Harare<\/a> are\u00a0New Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Mukwati Building, Ambassador Hotel, Joina Centre, and <\/a><\/p>\n The East Gate Shopping Centre, designed by Architect Mick Pearce, was actually opened in 1996 right on Robert Mugabe Avenue and Second Street. Designed first of its kind to be cooled naturally.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n If you have not been to Harare’ you may not realize how beautiful the city is. It has an estimated population of 1,606,000, with 2,800,000 in its metropolitan area. It is also one of the most beautiful in Africa, as there are several tourist attractions in the city. The pictures below will make you wonder if Harare\u00a0is London or New York City. Here are more amazing photographs of different places and objects, (apart from common tourist photography) in the only Zimbabwean\u00a0city that never sleeps.<\/p>\n This train station has the looks of London in much earlier times, even as it still maintains the modern looks. Somehow, the picture of this place manages to be better looking than the place is in real life, but there are many pictures of Harare that do not tell of the beauty as it is.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Another great building is Harare, unsurprisingly, is the nation’s constitutional court building which is likewise its supreme court of appeal. The building is not just large, but it also has the looks of a model that would make any picture as exciting to watch just as you would want.<\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/p>\n Other great pictures of the Zimbabwean capital city that you may get to come across is that of places that infuse both the western design and African touch to buildings and designs. Surprisingly enough as you may not expect, these are among the best spectacles that you will have captured through the lens.<\/p>\nMeikles Hotel<\/strong><\/h3>\n
