)
is a feast of
German art nouveau architecture, with its seaside promenades, half-timbered homes and
colonial-era buildings. Stuck out on the South Atlantic coast and surrounded by desert, it
feels like a movie set. Let loose on a skydive, horse ride or sandboard down a 300m dune
because you are in the adventure capital of the region. 'Swakop' pulls off the backpacker
scene and the clinking-wine-glass set equally, so you'll find your niche here.
