Must-do’s in Curaçao
– Visit Klein Curaçao
– Chilling out on Grote Knip & Kleine Knip
– Dancing on Mambo Beach
– Strolling around Willemstad
Willemstad
Willemstad is the only major city in Curaçao and has around 100,000 inhabitants. The city is full of colourful houses, dancing on the streets and you will find numerous cosy restaurants and street food stalls.
The Amsterdam of the Caribbean
Did you know that Willemstad is also called the Amsterdam of the Western Hemisphere? This is because of the many Dutch architecture you find in the city. Besides Dutch, you’ll also find Spanish and Portuguese architecture.
Klein Curaçao
Klein Curaçao is a beautiful, uninhabited island. You’ll find nothing more here than an abandoned lighthouse, a beached boat and a larger, rusty ship. And very nice beaches.
Snorkel with sea turtles, hike, sunbathe and barbecue. That’s all you need to do on this uninhabited little island.
A tiny & uninhabited paradise.
Grote knip
The Grote Knip is one of the most beautiful beaches in Curaçao. There is a lovely Caribbean atmosphere here and the beach is especially popular among locals. The beach consists of sand, turquoise water and you can even spot turtles if you are lucky. You won’t find any beach clubs here. Just before the Grote Knip, lies the smaller beach Kleine Knip.
The Grote Knip and the Kleine Knip are often combined in one excursion. Of course, you can also drive here yourself; the beach is free to enter.
