Local Tips for Windhoek

Guided vs. Self-Guided Walking Tours

A guided walking tour offers expert insights, historical context, and often includes skip-the-line access to major landmarks. If you prefer flexibility, a self-guided route lets you explore Windhoek at your own pace using maps and mobile apps. Combining both options is ideal for a complete experience.
