The Pearl of the Caribbean

Willemstad & surroundings

A good city day: coffee in Pietermaai, walk Punda, cross to Otrobanda, have a local lunch and return later for sunset or dinner.

• Willemstad is ideal if you want culture, restaurants, architecture and evening walks alongside beach time.
• Punda and Otrobanda are linked by the floating Queen Emma Bridge; Pietermaai and Scharloo are good for colorful architecture, food and street art.
• You can do a lot on foot in the center, while a car is useful for beach days further away.
