Windhoek is more than simply a point of arrival. The capital offers an interesting blend of Namibian culture, history and architecture. Christ Church, the Independence Memorial Museum and the National Museum of Namibia provide insight into the country's past, while the Namibia Craft Centre is a useful stop for locally made arts, crafts and souvenirs.
Food is another part of the city's appeal. Restaurants serve Namibian specialities alongside German-influenced dishes, while game meat, local produce and traditional flavours feature on many menus. The city's cafés and restaurants also provide a relaxed introduction to contemporary Namibian life.
Windhoek can also be an excellent starting point for a wider Namibia holiday, with travellers often continuing towards destinations such as Etosha National Park, Sossusvlei, Swakopmund or other wildlife and landscape highlights.
