Swakopmund: Attractions and more...
Providing for the perfect summer retreat from the sweltering summers of the interiors, Swakopmund has several beach resorts for its visitors to unwind. Those with a penchant for adventure sports can indulge in quad biking and sand boarding in the nearby Namib Desert.
Avid bird-watchers should visit the Walvis Bay Lagoon, usually frequented by beautiful flamingos. The Welwitschia drive is the best way to witness the flora and fauna of the Namib Desert. The Cape Cross Seal Colony offers a taste of the Skeleton Coast.
The city’s German inheritance is best exemplified in the architecture of the city. Certain notable buildings in Swakopmund include the Altes Gefängnis prison and the Wörmannhaus, which is now used as the public library.
Visitors can also visit the transport museum in the city. A must visit is the National Marine Aquarium. Other sites worth visiting in the city include the lighthouse and the Swakopmund Jetty.
