Willemstad, Curaçao's capital, is a tropical paradise known for its vibrant, pastel-coloured architecture lining the waterfront. This UNESCO-listed city offers a blend of Dutch colonial heritage and Caribbean charm. Beyond its charming streets, you'll find beautiful beaches, excellent diving spots and a rich cultural heritage to explore.
Begin your exploration by immersing yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Willemstad's historic districts. The city is divided into two distinct neighbourhoods: Punda and Otrobanda, both of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites. In Punda, you'll be enchanted by the iconic pastel-coloured buildings lining the harbour. Take a leisurely stroll across the Queen Emma Bridge, also known as the Swinging Old Lady, which pivots open to allow ships to pass. This architectural marvel connects Punda and Otrobanda and is a sight to behold when in motion.
Curaçao is renowned for its crystal-clear waters, making it a mecca for divers and snorkelers. Just a short drive from Willemstad, you'll discover a mesmerising underwater world teeming with vibrant marine life and coral formations. The Curaçao Sea Aquarium is a fantastic starting point to explore this aquatic wonderland. Even if you're not a diver, you can descend into an open-water aquarium and experience the thrill of swimming among nurse sharks, turtles and tropical fish.
Curaçao boasts some of the most beautiful and unspoiled beaches in the Caribbean and many of them are within a short drive from Willemstad. Mambo Beach is a popular choice, offering a vibrant atmosphere with beach clubs, restaurants and water sports activities. Sink your toes into the soft sand, swim in the calm turquoise waters, or sip on a refreshing cocktail while enjoying the sea breeze. For a more tranquil beach experience, head to Cas Abao Beach. This pristine cove is surrounded by lush greenery and boasts excellent snorkelling opportunities. It's an idyllic spot for a relaxing beach day, with shaded areas and a beach bar serving delicious local cuisine.
