The city also sits on the edge of the Matobo National Park , a UNESCO World Heritage site.

While often called the City of Kings due to its Ndebele royal heritage, Bulawayo is also celebrated for its vibrant arts and culture scene. It hosts the National Art Gallery and numerous independent studios, making it the creative heart of Zimbabwe where traditional Ndebele craft meets modern urban expression.
