Namibia, a land of breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage, is now more accessible than ever! Google Street View allows you to virtually explore this stunning Southern African nation and immerse yourself in its unique charm from your screen.

A journey through diverse landscapes

Imagine wandering through the historic streets of Windhoek, the vibrant capital city, or discovering the coastal allure of Walvis Bay and Swakopmund.

Street View allows you to navigate through a multitude of towns and cities, each with its own distinct character. You can visit places like Grootfontein, Henties Bay, Karasburg, Keetmanshoop, Mariental, Otjiwarongo, and many more. These extensive collections, totaling over 21,000 kilometers, provide an unparalleled opportunity to see Namibia up close.

Important landmarks at your fingertips

Get ready to explore some of Namibia's most iconic landmarks. Take a virtual stroll around the historic Franke Tower in Omaruru, a testament to the region's rich past. Marvel at the beautiful architecture of Christ Church, an example of neo-Gothic design, or reflect on history at the Independence Memorial Museum in Windhoek. For a unique coastal view, observe the landscape overlooking Penguin Island in Luderitz, or see the colorful Luderitz Concrete Letters that welcome visitors to this charming town. Or pass by the Rosh Pinah Museum in an eponymous town.

If you're on a computer, open Google Maps and drag Pegman — that small orange figure in the bottom right corner—directly onto the spot you wish to see. For mobile users, just type in a location and select the 360° image to instantly view the area and virtually wander around with a tap.
