Windhoek

Windhoek
the capital of Namibia | population: 160,000

“Namibia’s Central Highlands are dominated by its small, German-influenced capital, Windhoek.  This isn’t only Namibia’s geographical heart, it’s also the country’s road and rail crossroads, as well as its commercial nerve center.  Set among low hills at an elevation of 1660m, the capital city enjoys dry, clean air, a healthy highland climate, and an optimistic outlook that sets an example for all of Africa.  While Windhoek provides about as much action as Namibia has to offer, ‘vibrant’ probably isn’t the best word to describe its surprisingly staid and orderly capital city.” –Lonely Planet Namibia
