Curacao attractions -not only sun & beach
The largest of the Dutch Antilles, Curacao Island is a strange combination of dusty nothingness and luminescent sea, of brightly colored houses and barren landscapes. Just north of the Venezuelan coast, Curacao also boasts the most culturally diverse experience in the Caribbean. Though they are currently under Dutch rule, just like Aruba and Bonaire, they were initially settled by the Spanish, before being developed by the Dutch and populated by a large percentage of Venezuelans and descendants of African slaves - each culture has left their respective mark on the island. But the staples of Curacao tourism remain their serene beaches and exclusive diving resorts. Most visitors step directly from their Curacao flight and head straight into the capital city of Willemsted. And it's no wonder why: drive five miles inland in any direction and it looks unnervingly like the desert - there are even giant cacti to make you forget that you are in the Caribbean. But Willemsted is a picturesque place to start exploration of Curacao Island, a charming seaside town that can easily be traveled by foot and offers many of the island's finest resorts and hotels, not too mention a growing number of casinos for you to spend your evenings. The bustling Punda district of the city offers endless shopping, bars and restaurants for when you need a break from even the finest Curacao beach. You can sit in the cool evening breeze and sip from the blue liqueur that borrows Curacao's name that almost singlehandedly gave the tiny island international renown. Another attraction of the city is the bizarre architecture, splayed out across the face of the city like a deranged kaleidoscope. Legend has it that one of the city's governors in the 1800s suffered debilitating migraines, which he blamed on the glare from the sun off the city's white-washed buildings. Thus he ordered the entire town to be repainted in a variety of soft pastels. Sightseeing on Curacao comes in many flavors. Of course, beaches and scuba diving are one of the main attractions. The Seaquarium displays many fish and sea-life and the under-water observatory lets even non-divers observe the aquatic world. While driving out to Westpoint, a stop at Boca Tabla is highly recommended. Landhouses are worth a visit for their architecture and history, especially landhouse Brievengat, Chobolobo, and Knip. Many old buildings in Punda and Otrabanda have been restored and renovated and give a nice insight into the early settlers' lives. Curacao is also the home of the oldest Synagogue in the Western Hemisphere and an old Jewish cemetery. For hiking fans, the Christoffel Park is a nice but hot place to visit. A tour of the |
