【Scenery】Spend 1-2 hours learning about Namibia's country, history, wildlife and many other interesting facts.
【Fun】The museum is well organized and we think it is well worth a visit
The National Museum of Namibia is located next to the landmark building of the capital Windhoek, the Lutheran Evangelical Church, and is surrounded by many of the oldest buildings in Windhoek. The museum itself is not very interesting, but the elevator of this museum can reach the top floor, which is a great place to watch the sunset and overlook the entire Windhoek. The rooftop itself is a restaurant and bar, so it is also a good place for locals and young people to gather and dine. Now many tourists also come here. Just order a drink, you can take a break here and enjoy the beautiful African sunset. The statue in front of the museum is Nujoma, the founding father of Namibia. This museum was built entirely with aid from one country. Can you guess it? North Korea

The environment is clean and tidy. The overall feeling is very comfortable. So the journey is pleasant. The whole city planning is very special and interesting. I am very satisfied with this tour.
This is a pretty good spot, surrounded by lush greenery, similar to the central square in China, but without any traces of artificial buildings. The scenery is pretty good.

This place is a great place for everyone, we were in a group of 9 and stopped here on our overland safari. The food was very good, a good variety, especially the game, and the prices were very reasonable 😁 The layout and decor both made it most memorable, even in the menu it describes the stories behind some of the items you find there, including the cars on display! It's fun, quirky and not to be missed!
Before arriving at Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, I was bombarded by the Internet celebrity restaurant N Joe - "Beer House". It seems that if I don't go there, it will be a wasted trip. Namibia was once a German colony, and there are many German descendants in Namibia. Almost all the people walking on the street are Europeans. For a moment, it feels like you are not in Africa. Germany's roasted pig's feet and beer are quite famous, so these two dishes are the signature dishes of this Internet celebrity bar. The decoration of the entire hotel seems to be made of all the "waste items". When the German roasted pig's feet were served, it was really shocking. I guess three people can't finish it. There are legally listed antelope meat, crocodile meat, and zebra meat here. It looks similar to ordinary meat, but you can try it if you haven't eaten it. It is completely meat-based. I can only taste it occasionally. The bar and restaurant are still very quiet during the day, but it is very prosperous at night. It is basically a high-spirited place.

【View】We visited this church and it is by far one of the most beautiful churches we have seen. The details and stained glass are breathtaking. It is free, but please donate to help with the restoration
The Evangelical Lutheran Cathedral, also known as the German Cathedral, is located on Independence Street. It is a landmark building in Windhoek. This Gothic building is a treasure in the hearts of Namibians. The red spire and colored glass are very beautiful under the sun. The church is not big, but it is very delicate and colorful. It is a must-visit place for many people in the capital of Namibia. Windhoek is not a big place. It is probably the only place where you can take pictures. Namibia has been quite popular in China in the past two years, especially after the broadcast of the "Flowers and Boys" program in the country, it has quickly heated up. In fact, there are the fewest attractions in the capital of Namibia, but since you are here, you must check in.
