Namibia's Treasure Coastal Town | Swakopmund Super Detailed Budget Travel Guide

| A super detailed budget travel guide to Swakopmund. Namibia's Treasure Coastal Town | Swakopmund Super Detailed Budget Travel Guide Dear friends, today I will share with you a super practical budget travel guide from Windhoek to Swakopmund. This coastal town is known as "the city least like Africa", full of German style, and there are many fun activities and food. It is very cost-effective, so hurry up and save it! 🚗Transportation strategy From Windhoek, take a taxi to TotalEnergies B1 City gas station, where you can find a 7-seater car to Swakopmund, 200 NAD/person, and the journey takes about 4 hours. When you arrive in Swakopmund, although you can use Yango to hail a taxi, if you stay in a suitable place, you can walk to most attractions. The hostel I stayed in was super convenient and I didn’t use the taxi app for several days. 🏨Accommodation recommendation Salty Jackal Surf Camp is highly recommended! A room for 6 people costs only NAD 330 per person. The location is excellent. You can walk to the beach and the central shopping mall. You can also take a walk in the evening, feeling the sea breeze and the coziness of the small town. 🍽️Food check-in spot Jetty 1905 Restaurant: This restaurant is at the end of the pier, which is about 100 to 200 meters long. Sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows feels like dining on the sea, with a perfect atmosphere. If you want to enjoy the beautiful sunset sea view, remember to go 2 hours before sunset. If you go too late, you will miss out on a good seat. Chez Wou Chinese Restaurant: Compared to the one in the capital, this one tastes better and is more affordable, but the portion size is a bit small. It is really satisfying to be able to taste the flavor of home in a foreign country. CAI TAI THAI ASIAN RESTAURANT: This is a treasure restaurant recommended by local Chinese. The price is a bit high, but the portion is large, the taste is also online, and the price-performance ratio is good. 🛍️Good place for shopping Kavita Craft Market Swakopmund is a local handicraft center. You can bargain hard when buying special products here. It is not too much to bargain at 30% off. You can find many unique souvenirs. 📸Must-visit attractions Swakopmund Museum: Tickets are 40 NAD, which allows you to gain an in-depth understanding of the city's history. If you have enough time, you can go and visit. Kristall Galerie: Tickets are 30 NAD. There are all kinds of beautiful gems inside. If you like crystals, don’t miss it. Jetty Parking Area: This is an iconic check-in spot. At sunset, the sun slowly sets into the Atlantic Ocean, and the golden afterglow sprinkles on the sea. It is so beautiful that you will be speechless. You must come! Jörg Henrichsen Park and A.Schad Promenade: Right near the pier, take a stroll, take photos, and feel the romance of the small town. Desert explorers adventure centre: It is close to the youth hostel, so it is very convenient to sign up for entertainment activities such as sand dune sliding and desert exploration. In Swakopmund, you can enjoy the seaside scenery, experience exciting desert activities, taste delicious food, and buy unique souvenirs. Take this guide with you and set off!
