Parliament Gardens

Parliament Gardens is a public park located in central Windhoek. Established in 1932, it is situated between the Tintenpalast and Christuskirche. Travelers visit this space as a quiet area for walking or resting while exploring the city's administrative and historical center.

Getting There

The gardens are located within the city centre, making them accessible by foot from most central hotels and landmarks. Depending on your starting point in the downtown area, it is typically a 5 to 10-minute walk.

Duration of Visit

Because of its small size, most visitors spend between 30 and 60 minutes here. It is primarily used as a transitional stop between other nearby sites rather than a full-day destination.

When to Visit

The park is best visited during the morning or late afternoon to avoid the midday heat. It generally remains quiet, though it may see more foot traffic during weekday lunch hours when local office workers use the space.

Nearby Attractions

The gardens are centrally positioned, allowing you to combine a visit with several other landmarks within walking distance:

  • Christ Church, Windhoek: 0.1km
  • Independence Memorial Museum: 0.2km
  • Reiterdenkmal, Windhoek: 0.2km
