Swakopmund Downtown is the perfect place to start a holiday in this coastal playground of Namibia. The city of Swakopmund is the capital of the Erongo district and is the holiday destination for both natives of Namibia and international tourists alike. If you hire a car you can make the most of all that Swakopmund has to offer. Swakopmund Downtown is an eclectic mixture of African palm tree lined streets and fine German architecture. The whole area has a strange timeless quality about it that makes it the perfect destination for those seeking cultural enrichment as well as those wishing to partake in somewhat more dangerous exertions, such as skydiving. There are not many places that offer such a diverse range of attractions from camel farms and sand dunes, to skydiving and kite surfing.
