An inviting combination of modern city architecture and that of German colonial ties, Windhoek resonates a cosmopolitan flair, accented with a nostalgic ambiance rooted in the German influences of days gone past.
Bisecting the welcoming center of this capital city, and offering a myriad of historical sights, is Independence Avenue.
