Swakopmund, Namibia
Founded as a German colonial port in 1892, Swakopmund retains its Teutonic character in ways that delight and disorient. The town center features half-timbered buildings, a Lutheran church, and bakeries selling apfelstrudel, all within sight of the wild Atlantic. The Mole, an old pier and sea wall, offers bracing walks along the coast. The Swakopmund Museum, housed in the old customs house, tells the story of the town's German colonial origins and the indigenous Nama and Herero peoples. To the south, the Namib Desert's towering dunes at Sandwich Harbour and the flamingo-filled Walvis Bay lagoon are within easy reach for walking adventures.
