The Menelik Palace is a palatial compound that was the seat of the power of Emperors of Ethiopia. Today, the compound is called Unity Park and contains are several residences, halls, chapels, and working buildings.

A stone's throw from Windhoek's Christuskirche is the city's liveliest city park, attracting picnickers and lunch breakers from the surrounding offices. Although no animals have called the park home for decades, it retains its original name from when it served as a public zoo.

Appearing like a scene from an “Indiana Jones” film, the Tonto Natural Bridge is within a small valley of forest and pine trees. Estimated to be the largest natural travertine bridge in the world, the bridge is 183 feet high and covers 400 feet (150 feet at its widest point). Visitors and adventurers may choose to stand at its top or hike down to the valley.

Typically octagonal, the stern-looking, neoclassical St George Cathedral was where Ethiopian rulers were inaugurated ever since its construction by the order of Emperor Menelik II, who dedicated the church to Ethiopia's patron saint, St George.
