Adorable pictures...evrything is very neat and beautiful. How many inhabitants has got Swakopmund, by the way? It´s Namibia´s second largest city, right?

What beautiful pictures. Wonderful buildings. It must be a great relieve to arrive in this town after days in the desert.

some great pics there.

Wow Namibia is an unexpected delight!

Swakopmund is a beautiful city. It seems to be very small (much bigger than other Namibian cities though) and so clean, nicely made city. TY for the photos. :okay:

Here is another Swakopmund thread that I made sometime ago.

Swakopmund is a very nice, clean, little city. That wikipedia page might need some cleaning up though.

Very beautifull and clean city!

Lovely.

what do you mean :?

I know where I'm going on my next vacation. The only criticism I have for Namibian cities is that they all look too similar. I prefer seeing a city's personality more reflected in its architecture, but still Namibia is quite intriguing.

pretty beatiful.....ocean and sunny with german architecture :)

Looks like a German town on the North Sea transported to the desert. Unreal, cool.

Great looking little city!!!!!! "love it"

No offense but this city looks kind of boring.

^^

It looks quiet in the pictures but Swakopmund has been labeled the adrenaline capital of Africa with tons of thrilling activities like sky diving, wind surfing, and sandboarding. Its one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southern Africa. Brad Pitt and Angeline Jolie own a vacation home here.
