One of the most beautiful (and green) gardens in Windhoek lies at the base of the Tintenpalast, Namibia's Parliament Building in the city centre. The gardens itself are now home to 3 statues of iconic who were instrumental in gaining Namibia's independence.

A recent addition to the Namibian skyline, the National Museum of Namibia, is home to a rich collection of artifacts from colonial to modern day Namibia.
