Visit Windhoek - Dubbed a 'Cleanest City in Africa', Windhoek is the Capital City of the Republic of Namibia, a country described as one of Africa's most vibrant and successful sovereign states. Nestled in a basin surrounded by scenic mountains in the central highlands of Namibia, Windhoek can be better described as a ' Working City '. It is a thriving active, administrative, commercial and industrial centre, serving as the melting pot and hub of most economic and technological developments and activities in the country.

Namibia’s capital is Windhoek, and thanks to a brilliant stroke of German planning, it’s located slap bang in the middle of the country. The name translates as windy corner. The city has a population of around 200 000 - an extremely small capital by global standards. Windhoek Airport is a major international gateway to the country.

Shopping Windhoek

There is a craft market in Post Street Mall in central Windhoek, though prices are quite high. For cheaper prices, go to the craft market in Okahanja, which is about an hour north of Windhoek. You can hitchhike to Okahanja or catch a combie. There are a number of arcades and small shopping centres in downtown Windhoek. Between them you can find pretty much anything you need. There is also a larger mall called Maerua Park in the south end of the city, easily accessible by taxi.

Eating and Drinking  Windhoek

German cuisine dominates, but Namibian influence can be found in the quantity and quality of meat on offer. (Vegetarians be warned, Namibia is a carnivore’s heaven.) Joe’s Beerhouse is a Windhoek institution serving gigantic steaks and draught Windhoek beer.

Craft Café - Located in the heart of the city in the historic old breweries building surrounded by a full range of handmade craft produced exclusively in Namibia. The craft café offers a unique and pleasant menu balancing healthy eating and drinking with old world indulgences like home baked cheesecake and apple crumble, complimented by the best coffee in town.

El Cubano - This Cuban restaurant is the ideal place to go for a drink. It is a “must” in the Namibian night life, very enjoyable cosmopolitan atmosphere.
