Willemstad Travel Safety Guide — Curaçao

Safety Score: 8/10 · Value: 7.5/10 · Beauty: 8.4/10

Willemstad is one of the Caribbean's great surprises, a UNESCO-listed Dutch colonial city with an impossibly photogenic waterfront of painted merchant houses in coral, yellow, turquoise, and pink, reflected in the Sint Annabaai harbour. The Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge (1888), a floating bridge that swings open for ships, connects the Punda and Otrobanda districts. The island of Curaçao sits outside the hurricane belt (rare in the Caribbean), giving it 300+ days of sun and calm seas. The underwater world is extraordinary: coral reefs at 40+ dive sites, including the famous Mushroom Forest, with visibility exceeding 30 metres.
