Lüderitz Old Town & Railway Station
Bismarckstraße / Bahnhof Lüderitz
The old town’s main street of colourful German-style buildings and the 1914 railway station, ideal for half a day of street photography.
The old town of Lüderitz is centred on Bismarckstraße (Bismarck Street), lined with German-style shops, banks, a gymnasium (Turnhalle) and colourful houses from the diamond boom. Gables, towers and wooden balconies are well preserved. The old railway station, built in 1914, is a German brick-and-stone building with a tower. It now serves as a railway station and office space, and its exterior is well worth photographing. You can explore the whole old town in one to two hours, and on the way you can stop at the waterfront for coffee or fresh oysters.
