Things to do in Windhoek:
Visit the Alte Feste
A national heritage site
The Alte feste (or “Old Ford”) in
Windhoek is situated on a small
hill closed to the Tintenplaste
(The Namibian house of the
parliament)
The Alte Feste is situated on a
high point overlooking the
central business district of
Windhoek.
Christuskirche / German church
Windhoek’s best-recognized
landmark, and something of an
unofficial symbol of the city,
this German Lutheran church
stands on a traffic island and
lords it over the city center.
This unusual building, which was
constructed from local sandstone
in 1907
Namibia Crafts Centre / Café
This place is an outlet for heaps of
wonderful Namibian inspiration –
leatherwork, basketry, pottery, jewellery,
needlework, hand-painted textiles and other
material arts – and the artist and origin of
each piece is documented.
