Question 1

What are the major attractions in Bethlehem?

Accepted Answer

If your trip to Bethlehem is all sorted out but your travel itinerary is a little on the empty side, let us give you a helping hand.

If you're looking for a good reason to venture out and see what's beyond the immediate center, Dihlabeng Mall is it. Want another one? Goble Park is also worth the short journey out.

Question 2

What are the best road trip destinations near Bethlehem?

Accepted Answer

If you want to hit the wide open road, head off on a road trip to Clarens. Located 20 miles away, it's a fantastic place to start exploring the surrounding region.

Question 3

What kind of rental car should I get for Bethlehem?

Accepted Answer

Sure, you can make your way around Bethlehem without a rental vehicle. But with so much to see here, having one would definitely make your stay more comfortable. If you want to get out of town and into some nature, pick a ride with some power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will take you to the area's desert landscapes in comfort and style. Prefer to spend most of your time downtown? A small, economical car is the way to go. Maneuvering around busy streets and squeezing into tiny parking spots will be less hassle with one of these.

Question 4

Should I get a luxury rental car in Bethlehem?

Accepted Answer

You'll be pleased to hear that there's a broad range of both high-end and economy rental vehicles on offer in Bethlehem. What you go for will depend on your funds and what you're hoping to do. Specialty and prestige vehicles are all about mod cons and comfort. If you're splurging, why not grab an SUV with all the bells and whistles, or perhaps a slick mid-sized vehicle? On the other hand, if you just need something to get you around town as economically as possible, stick with a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't break the bank).

Question 5

What side of the road do they drive on in Bethlehem?

Accepted Answer

Drivers stick to the left-hand side of the road in Bethlehem. If you're planning to get a rental car here, take note that the driver's seat will be on the right. It may take a little bit to get used to!

Does Bethlehem have peak-hour traffic?

Accepted Answer

As the population of Bethlehem is approximately 83,700, you shouldn't have too much trouble with traffic. That being said, downtown streets are generally busier in the rush hours before and after work, so you may want to avoid driving then.
