A little bit of Germany in Africa, Windhoek, the capital is flavoured with traditional brews, sausage and sauerkraut to complement its colonial Teutonic architecture. Travel to Windhoek, though, and you will also find a good ethnic mix of colourful African culture that will leave you in no doubt that you are in the commercial heart of a vast southern African country.

Windhoek is an attractive city situated in the Central Highlands and surrounded by hills and mountains, occupying the geographical and economic heart of Namibia. The city centre is characterised by German colonial architecture and  modern structures. Independence Avenue is a pleasant tree-lined place with fountains and walkways providing a relaxing ambience in the central business district.
