Diaz Point is a great drive out from Luderitz. Stark & beautiful. Make sure when you're here to stop in at Skip Skop for a coffee and a slice of fresh cake. Such friendly staff - really hope they make a go of this!
4. Felsenkirche

Found some photos of my mother from 1955 - oh wow! None of us expected that! We were aiming at a trip down memory lane where my mother was confirmed but did not expect photos in the relic collection. The stain glass windows were beautiful; the colors clear and bright esp in the late afternoon sunlight. The pews are well kept and I pray that they will be used more often. When in Lüderitz; the Felsenkirche is worth a visit.
5. The Goerke House

4.0 based on 105 reviews
Reviewed By midwaytoheaven - Midway, United States
This beautifully restored old home is one of the finest in Lüderitz and a must see when visiting here. It is located just around the block from Felsenkirche, the old German Lutheran Church on Diamantberg Street. Is was built in 1910 on diamond hill and is run today as a museum and open for tours. BOTTOM LINE: Well worth the taxi ride or walk from the cruise port. Made beautiful buildings are located within a couple of blocks from here with a Bavarian flare. Try to plan your visit during visiting hours to see the inside too. Great spot for photos here and on diamond hill behind the home. MY RATING: 9/10.

A very interesting little museum in the wonderful town of Lüderitz. A lot of history and the owner seems to be a great guide and story teller as well as I just joined in when he was taking a small group of local children around. I enjoyed this visit a lot.
