Tour Details

We'll meet at the designated time at the meeting point near the Willemstad cruise port, from where we'll begin a comprehensive tour of Curaçao's capital. The strong Dutch heritage, fused with the island's surprising artistic development, will captivate you.

First, we'll head to the Otrobanda district, in the heart of the city's old town. Here, we'll see the beautiful colonial buildings painted in vibrant colors and discover the secrets of this neighborhood, known as the cultural and residential soul of the city.

After strolling through its maze-like streets filled with graffiti, such as in the Frederikstraat area, we'll go to Fort Waakzaamheid, an old historical fortification offering incredible panoramic views of the city and the sea.

Next, we'll travel to the Scharloo district. There, we'll see the charming restored mansions that make up this UNESCO World Heritage Site.

In this area of ​​Curaçao's capital, we'll admire the Wedding Cake House, named for its unique architecture. We'll continue to Landhuis Chobolobo, a former farmhouse that now houses a distillery of the national liqueur, Blue Curaçao. Here, you'll enjoy a tasting of this refreshing spirit while learning about the history of this renowned drink on the island.

Have you worked up an appetite? We'll stop at Plasa Bieu for you to enjoy a local meal on your own. Afterward, we'll continue our tour of Willemstad at Mercado Redondo, the city's largest and most famous market. Located in the historic Punda district, we'll see the various stalls selling fresh fruit, spices, and handicrafts. You're sure to find something you can't resist!

Finally, we'll visit Parke Lucha pa Libertat, a small park on John F. Kennedy Boulevard that commemorates the island's culture, resilience, and struggle against slavery. The perfect ending to the tour!

Finally, 5 hours later, we'll say our goodbyes back at the original meeting point.
