Caribbean

There’s nothing like them, for R & R with vibrant turquoise waters, white sandy beaches, swaying palm trees and majestic peaks with resorts, cafes and seaside restaurants.  The Caribbean comprises the beautiful Caribbean Sea with 700 islands on the Caribbean plate.  In addition, South and Central American countries border the Caribbean Sea, like Mexico, Belize, Costa Rica, Honduras, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela. The Caribbean Travel Guides below highlight top destinations.

The Caribbean travel destinations make up an archipelago in the Caribbean Sea, divided into different regions: Lucayan Archipelago, Greater Antilles, Lesser Antilles and ABC Islands. Overall, 13 sovereign states and 17 dependent territories comprise the area. Also, the predominant languages are English, Spanish, French, Dutch and Antillean creole.

The incredible Caribbean coral reefs are called fringing reefs.  Therefore, they grow offshore as extensions of the beaches. The climate is ideal for breeding corals that thrive in these waters that mostly range from 73 to 84 degrees. However, these reefs are very much affected by global warming affecting the water temperature.  Undoubtedly, the Caribbean reefs have suffered from climate change and tourism.  However, many things are changing in a positive direction to promote sustainable tourism and protecting the reefs.  Researching this is a vital part of any trip to the Caribbean. Overall, the watersports are endless here to enjoy snorkeling, diving, swimming, hiking, sailing and fishing.

    Colorful Willemstad, Curacao Top Attractions and Things to Do

    by Trudy Wendelin, L.Ac April 19, 2025
    written by Trudy Wendelin, L.Ac

    Willemstad is the picturesque capital of Curacao and full of colorful wonders.  Even more this Dutch Caribbean port is a UNESCO World Heritage Site with many historic landmarks.  I visited numerous times as an Acupuncturist-at-Sea and love sharing my adventures.  So, read on to learn about the top 16 Willemstad Curacao attractions for your next vacation.

    About Willemstad, Curacao

    20221214_145706_2

    Located in the southern Caribbean this island is referred to among the ABC islands: Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao.  These Dutch Caribbean destinations are just 50 miles north of Venezuela. All 3 islands have a dry, riverless terrain.  Also, they lie outside Hurricane Alley.  Willemstad’s waterfront is picturesque with pastel-colored Dutch colonial architecture.   

    The Dutch captured this island from Spain in 1634.  It became a major center for the Atlantic slave trade.  Further diversification developed as the Sephardic Portuguese Jews from Amsterdam settled here.  Overall, 3 historic neighborhoods in Willemstad became established:  Otrobanda (Spanish), Punda (Dutch) and Pietermaai (Jewish).  The iconic Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge connects Otrobanda and Punda districts, crossing the Sint Anna Bay.  Today 80% of the population is Dutch Caribbean.  Today, the Scharloo District is revitalized with colorful street art. 

    Punda became a walled city with Fort Amsterdam for defense. In 1861 they demolished the walls.  Later, Otrobanda became founded as a cultural center for Willemstad.  The local languages are Papiamento (creole) and Dutch.

    Otrabanda Mural – Francis Sling

    Otrobanda Neighborhood Walk

    This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site on the southwest side of town.  Originally, it was a Spanish suburb of Willemstad.  This neighborhood is the location of popular attractions, such as, Rif Fort & Renaissance Mall, Curacao Museum and Kura Hulanda Museum.  Also, the Brionplein (Brion Plaza) is the center of Otrobanda’s waterfront.

    IMG_3883
    Kura Hulanda Museum

    Kura Hulanda Museum

    In Otrobanda, this museum dives into the African roots and Atlantic Slave Trade.  Kura Hulanda is a unique village including a hotel, bars, restaurants and museum. Furthermore, this anthropological museum recounts the Origin of Man, African slave trade, West African Empires and Antillean art.

    Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge

    Cross Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge “Swinging Old Lady”

    Built in 1888, the Queen Emma Bridge crosses St. Anna Bay, connecting the Punda and Otrobanda neighborhoods.  When boats come through, a loud bell rings and the motorized pontoon bridge opens toward the Otrobanda side.   Therefore, pedestrians cannot pass at this time.  There is a free ferry when the bridge closes to pedestrians.  Even more, at night the bridge lights up in colorful lights.  Crossing the bridge is a must by day or night to experience the fun-loving spirit of this centerpiece to Willemstad.

    Punda Neighborhood Walk

    As a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Punda is the original Holland side of Willemstad.  So, here lies the iconic Handelskade with pastel-colored, Dutch Caribbean colonial architecture. This neighborhood is perfect for a walking tour with many pedestrian streets for shopping and exploring. 

    Also, I elaborate on other popular attractions in Punda below. These include landmarks, such as, Queen Wilhelmina Park, street art, outdoor market, art galleries, Fort Amsterdam, Governor’s Palace, Maritime Museum, Mikve-Israel-Emanuel Synagogue and Jewish Cultural Historical Museum.

    IMG_3805
    Handelskade

    Handelskade

    These iconic 18th century buildings line the waterfront of Punda, reminding of the Dutch heritage.  The architecture is Dutch Colonial; however, the buildings are painted in pastel colors.  Evidentt was ordered to paint them in any color other than white, to minimize the sun’s reflections in the bright climate.  One way to immerse in the scene here is by eating outdoors at one of the restaurants along the waterfront on Handelskade.

    IMG_3888
    Queen Wilhelmina Park with ChiChi

    Queen Wilhelmina Park

    Named after Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands, this park is a gathering place for photo ops. Here is the large CURACAO sign in bright yellow and the DUSHI sign in red.  Dushi is a Papiamento term meaning nice or good.  Also, there is a colorful ChiChi statue, representing iconic, local art and a Queen Wilhelmina statue.

    Scharloo District Mural – The Kibrahacha Tree on the corner of Van Raderstraat


    Street Art and Murals

    There is colorful street art throughout Willemstad in both pedestrian streets and alley ways.  This is why a walking tour takes you to the heart of this town.  Besides the more known neighborhoods, the Scharloo area is recently being revitalized with incredible murals.   

    Art Galleries

    In Punda there are 2 art galleries featuring locals that are worth checking out.  The Nena Sanchez Gallery showcases her vibrant, Caribbean paintings and gliclees (fine art digitally reproduced and placed on canvas).  Her murals are also in the streets of Punda.  The Chichi Shop offers the collections of the popular sculptures of Serena Israel.  These sculptures are handmade by local artisans and a popular souvenir to take home from Curacao. 

    Mikve-Israel-Emanuel Synagogue &
    Jewish Cultural Historical Museum

    The Jewish heritage established in Curacao when the Sephardic Portuguese Jews settled here from Amsterdam.   In Punda stands the oldest synagogue in continuous use in the western hemisphere.  This beautiful gold icon is adjacent to the Jewish Cultural Historical Museum. 

    IMG_7093
    Nieuwstraat Restaurants – Pietermaai Neighborhood

    Pietermaai Neighborhood Walk

    As a World Heritage Site, this neighborhood is another awesome place for a walking tour.  Pietermaai was a Jewish district and at one time full of wealth and grandeur from the colonial days.  At the end of the 20th century, this area became run down with dilapidated buildings. 

    Recently, however, it became revitalized with facades, murals and colorful artwork.  It is often referred to as Curacao’s SoHo. Here, the repainted, abandoned mansions of these Jewish quarters are marked with historic Nieuwstraat is one of the main streets popular restaurants, such as, Ginger and Mundo Bizarro. Other popular eateries in the area include the Restaurant Cana on Lombokstraat and Van Gogh’s on Pieterstraat. Additionally, this area buzzes with colorful Boutique Hotels and murals.

    IMG_7138
    “Wedding Cake” House is National Archive – Scharloo District

    Scharloo Neighborhood

    On the other side of the Waaigat is the everchanging Scharloo District.  Once a neighborhood of wealthy Jewish merchants with villas and mansions, it became abandoned and in shambles by the 80’s.  Thankfully, a local initiative is inspiring a creative revival of the historic buildings.  There is a lot of street art and murals to brighten the neighborhood.   For example, a well-known one is The Kibrahacha Tree on the corner of Van Raderstraat.  This is the only tree that grows on the ABC islands.   Other incredible murals showcase in the parking lot near Bitterstraat. 

    Many of the abandoned mansions in the Scharloo neighborhood have been restored and maintained as monuments.  My favorite one is the “Wedding Cake” green and white Rococo mansion, that is currently serving as the National Archive.

    IMG_3902
    Rif Fort

    Rif Fort and Renaissance Mall

    Built in the 19th century, RIF Fort protected the island from the invasion of pirates.  It lies at the entrance of the Sint Anna Bay in the western Otrobanda neighborhood.   It’s made of thick coral walls and housed over 56 cannons. Today, Rif Fort is a venue for local restaurants, live entertainment and bars.  Nearby, the Renaissance Shopping Mall has more than 50 shops, including luxurious boutiques.

    20231226_151820
    Landhuis Chobolobo Bar

    Landhuis Chobolobo – Curacao Liquor Distillery

    This distillery at Landhuis Chobolobo offers an opportunity to learn about the famously blue Curacao liquor.  Guided tours teach you about the distillation process, along with taste-testing variations of cocktails and ice cream.  Go all out and order the Mudslide, a cappuccino smoothie with Chocolate Liquor. Yum!

    Curacao Sea Aquarium

    The unique Curacao Sea Aquarium is an open water system, meaning the marine life gets genuinely, fresh water from the ocean.  Located in the Cornelis Bay, oceanic currents flow through, offering a replica of their natural habitat.   Visitors experience direct animal encounters through some of the best snorkeling in Curacao.  However, if you don’t want to get in the water, there is the Ocean Lens or CuraSub for intimate views as deep as 1,000 feet below.   

    IMG_3879
    Mambo Beach

    Mambo Beach or “Sea Aquarium Beach”

    Just a 15-minute drive from Willemstad, the man-made Mambo Beach is the most popular one in Curacao.  There are plentiful amenities, shopping, trendy beach bars and restaurants. 

    Discover the Unique Plant Life of Curacao

    The ABC’s have a similar terrain that is arid, desert with no rivers. Any plant nerd will be glad to know that there are wonderful opportunities to explore unique plant life that only exists on these islands.

    Curaloe Aloe Plantation

    For starters, Aruba and Curacao grow some of the best aloe vera plantations in the world. A great place to learn about and experience this medicinal plant in Curacao is at the sustainable Curaloe plantation. Another incredible ecotourism opportunity is at Den Paradera, a native herbal medicine garden. Here, Dinah Veeris showcases indigenous plant species, that she discovered through questioning the elders of the island.

    Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge

    Curacao Nightlife

    One of my favorite places for nightlife in the Caribbean (along with San Juan, Puerto Rico) is Willemstad.  The town lights up with vibrant lights and music everywhere.  The Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge illuminates a rainbow of color as the music echoes across the water.  A warm, balmy night in the Caribbean breeze of Curacao is the ultimate place to experience the culture and festivities. 

    Enjoy Curacao!

    There is so much to see and do in Curacao. And even if you have a short time there, the historic Willemstad has enough to keep you busy. Leave comments below if your travels take you to Curacao. Let us know any tips or ideas on how best to experience this French Caribbean Island!

Doing a Northern Ireland Causeway Coastal tour sho Doing a Northern Ireland Causeway Coastal tour should be on everyone’s bucket list. It’s well-known for being one of the most beautiful drives in the world with many scenic stops along the way. Its breathtaking castles, geological wonders and magical coastlines offer the ultimate road trip. Because my day here was so incredible, I love sharing my tips about the Ireland Causeway Coastal Tour to Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and Dark Hedges. For Game of Thrones fans, this is a special trip going to 2 film locations for the popular series.

Causeway Coastal Route goes along the northern coast of Northern Ireland 193 km (120 m) between Belfast & Londonderry. My one-day tour from Belfast included the iconic sites, such as, Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle and Dark Hedges. Other incredible stops on the route are Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge, Carrickfergus Castle, Gobbins Cliff Path, Ballintoy Harbour, Glenarm Castle and Torr Head.
