Tourist Guide Windhoek:

Windhoek, Namibia’s capital, lies at an altitude of 1650 metres in a pretty valley bordered by the Eros Mountains in the north and the Auas mountains in the south.
It is situated in almost the exact centre of Namibia.
Windhoek is the country's largest city and its administrative, communication, and economic centre. It is also one of the world's major trade centres for Karakul sheep skins.
At the end oh 19th century, Windhoek was the capital of the German colony of South West Africa. And the influence of the German language and culture is, after all this years, still alive: there are many German restaurants with traditional German dishes, beer, and even a German carnival. Moreover, Windhoek combines the modern city architectural style with that of the German colonial era.
Windhoek has an international airport 45 kilometres out of town.

Whk is a beautiful city with its good natural structured landforms. The development of the city is growing too fast on a abnormal rate speed. City of whk need to reconstruct the city map to provide enough open spaces as landscaping design in case the city is growing and in the future to have a city of good impression and free impression relating the nature structure of the city with new/modern construction.

Safety measures must be put in place, because one does not feel safe at at the the Capital city. More Police officers must be employed. The employment rate in the city is also very high. Self-help projects must be initiated especially for the youth. The tourism industry is grow, you can see tourism especially at city centre which is a good thing.

In my opinion WHK lack has a lack of safe wellcoming entertainment. Transport i would say is ok, if you consider local taxis only, there rest are overprised. There is a need to see the police around more, to get the sense of feeling safe. It is affordable.

If you are walking, always be on the look out for harmful and unwanted company. Its best not to speak to strangers unless you realy feel safe and do not carry your valuables around or else keep them out of sight.

Windhoek is still a very nice town with good historical elements and charm. What it lacks is entertainment for different age groups, that is safe.
