There is the opportunity to book a cultural and historical tour of the city and you can make an appointment to visit a diamond and jewelry showroom!
You can also visit the National Museum, the Diamond Museum, and the National Botanical Research Institute, or do some serious shopping in the stores located in the many malls.
It is also worth taking time to visit the ‘Titenpalast’ (Ink Palace) too, with its glorious gardens – it is the home of the National Assembly of Namibia and a popular place for visitors and inhabitants alike.
For those seeking an authentic Namibian souvenir, you can take advantage of the fact that there are some real bargains on offer from the street vendors lining the streets of downtown Windhoek!

On arrival at Villa Violet you are greeted by the friendly owners Heidi and Ben, who are fluent in English, German, French and Afrikaans.
In their creation of Villa Violet they have managed to strike the balance between elegance and homeliness, which is just right for the weary traveler! The property is based around a central courtyard – this combines a tranquil garden complete with chairs and tables and a sparkling pool, perfect for helping you unwind. Inside, there is the rather charming lounge with a touch of modern sophistication – here you will find a television and DVD player, free Wi-Fi, and a small library. The breakfasting area is spacious, light and airy, so you can sit back and enjoy the generous and healthy buffet breakfast while planning what your day will hold! For extra peace of mind, each guest is provided with a personal remote key to the main gate, in case you wish to stay out a bit later in the evening.

In all of the five guest bedrooms you will find a hint of the color violet in the décor – this goes some way to explaining the name of this B&B! It is subtle and very tasteful, mixing with other hues to make each room inviting, individual and relaxing.
All rooms come with air conditioning and heater, a flatscreen television, a personal safe, and en-suite facilities featuring a private shower and flush loo. You can also request a hairdryer and baby cot if needed. There is the choice of either a double bed or twin beds – both options are superbly comfortable! – and, like all the other rooms at the guesthouse, the bedrooms are pleasantly situated around the courtyard.
