Windhoek is the peaceful and cozy capital of Namibia with a unique blend of African flavor and German heritage. The city grew out of a small settlement at the end of the XIX century and today fascinates with cozy streets, a lively atmosphere and a contrast of ancient architecture and modern areas. It is pleasant to walk, breathe in the dry air of the savannah and feel the measured rhythm of life of the South African city.
Man-made sights of Windhoek tell about different eras: Christuskirche on Fidel Castro Street, built in 1907 by architect Gottlieb Redeker, is one of the architectural calling cards of the city. At the intersection of Independence Avenue and Post Street stands the historic Clocktower, and nearby attracts the attention of the Horse statue of Major Kurt von Francois, a monument associated with the dramatic events of the early XX century. Colonial buildings, squares and museums form the central part where you can see what to see in the historical context and feel the spirit of the past.
