Curaçao (Willemstad) Cruise Guide
At night, the bridge's twinkling lights glow on the water. But wander from Willemstad to discover craggy cliffs, long strips of sandy beaches and crystal, azure waters that teem with life. No wonder Curaçao is a popular Caribbean destination for cruise ships, divers and those who just want to chill out.
Sightseeing
Punda's Floating Market brims fresh fish, spices, fruits and vegetable and bustles with vendors who have made the trip across from Venezuela. Otrabanda's Kurá Hulanda Museum sits on an 18th-century courtyard, a former slave market. The old mansion is now a museum that chronicles the horrors of transatlantic slave trade.
