Curacao travel advice

Most visits are trouble-free.

Visitors should be aware that the former Netherlands Antilles are used as a drug passageway from South America to Europe and North America. It is advised never to leave bags unattended nor agree to carry a package for anyone.

The hurricane season in the Dutch Caribbean normally runs from June to November.

The threat from terrorism is low. But travellers should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks which could be against civilian targets, including places frequented by foreigners.
