Windhoek in Namibia
The Namibian capital Windhoek has just under 500,000 inhabitants according to the most recent census in 2023 and exudes a pleasant African-European charm. Just as Namibia is well-suited as an entry-level travel destination in Africa, Windhoek is ideal as an entry-level city. It is clean, peaceful, safe, and, compared to other Namibian cities, very modern and well-organized.
There are many sights to see in Windhoek, such as the Christus Church, the Tintenpalast (seat of government), the Craft Centre, and several museums and galleries. In addition, there are excellent shopping opportunities and many very good restaurants.
