Which area of Curaçao is best to stay in?
It depends on your trip: Willemstad if you want history, restaurants and services nearby; Bandabou, in the west, if you're looking for beaches and nature; the southeast coast if your plan is diving or snorkeling.
Willemstad
Willemstad has four historic neighborhoods: Punda, Otrobanda, Pietermaai and Scharloo. It's a good fit if it's your first time or you want to walk around the historic center.
Bandabou (west)
Bandabou, the west of the island, has authentic villages, a hilly landscape and nature in the spotlight. It's a good fit if you're looking for peace and quiet and beaches; a car makes getting around easier there.
Southeast coast
Along the Curaçao Marine Park. It's a good fit if your trip revolves around diving and snorkeling.
What places should you visit in Curaçao?
Willemstad's historic center, the national parks in the west and the west coast beaches are home to the best plans. For each place, we tell you who it's for.
Willemstad historic center
Its historic center and harbor are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Ideal for history, architecture and walking.
Queen Emma Bridge
A floating pedestrian bridge that connects Punda and Otrobanda, the two sides of the harbor. Ideal for a walk at sunset.
Christoffel National Park
Mount Christoffel is the highest point on the island. Ideal for hiking and seeing the island from above; get there early.
Shete Boka National Park
A rugged coastline on the north of the island, where sea turtles nest. Ideal for nature and scenery; the waves pound the rocks hard, so keep your distance from the edge.
Grote Knip (Kenepa Grandi)
A free public beach on the west coast, with white sand and turquoise water. Ideal for swimming and snorkeling; check sea conditions before going in.
Playa Lagun
A small, sheltered bay where you can see turtles and coral from the surface. Ideal for snorkeling and families; check sea conditions before going in.
Playa Grandi (Playa Piskadó)
A small fishermen's beach in the Westpunt area, where sea turtles are often seen. Ideal for watching turtles from the water without touching or feeding them.
Curaçao Marine Park
A protected area along the southeast coast, with coral reefs close to shore. Ideal for diving and snorkeling.
Klein Curaçao
An uninhabited island you reach by boat in 1 to 2 hours. Ideal for a beach day on a boat trip; check sea conditions.
How do you get to Curaçao with Copa?

What happens when you arrive at Curaçao Airport?
You go through immigration with your passport and your Digital Immigration Card (DI Card), pick up your luggage, go through customs and head out to your transfer or an authorized taxi.
How do you get around Curaçao?
From the airport to your hotel, you can take your booked transfer, the hotel transfer or an authorized taxi. To explore the island, add a rental car.
From the airport to your hotel
Transfer time depends on the area where you're staying; check with your hotel or your transfer provider.
Authorized taxis
Taxis have standard government-regulated fares and don't use meters; ask the fare before getting in.
Hotel transfers
The transfer to and from the airport may be included in your booking; confirm it when you book your stay.
Rental car
There are car rental agencies inside the airport terminal. Below we tell you when it makes sense.
Do you need to rent a car in Curaçao?
It's not required, but it helps. If you're staying in Willemstad and going to a few beaches, you can get around by taxi. If you want to explore the west coast beaches and the national parks, a car gives you more freedom.
Without a car
It makes sense if you're staying in Willemstad and will spend most days nearby. Use authorized taxis or your hotel transfer.
With a car
It makes sense if you want to explore Bandabou, Christoffel National Park and Shete Boka. Most of Curaçao is 30 to 45 minutes away by car, no matter where you start; it can vary at rush hour.
When driving
In Curaçao you drive on the right and, at intersections and roundabouts, traffic coming from the right has the right of way. You need a valid driver's license; the minimum age and requirements are set by each agency.
What practical tips should you know before traveling to Curaçao?
Protect the reef, respect the turtles and head up early in the national parks.
Language
The official languages are Papiamentu, Dutch and English. Spanish is also spoken.
Reef and marine life
Don't touch or step on the coral, don't collect shells or marine life, and use reef-safe sunscreen.
Turtles
Watch them from a distance, without touching or feeding them.
Hiking
In Christoffel National Park, start early: climbing the mountain is not allowed after 10 a.m.
Sargassum
Curaçao is outside the main sargassum belt, so it's rarely a problem on its beaches.
