Great island. Lived there for 20 years before I start traveling around. Don't forget it's expensive. All is imported, nothing grows there. And one other thing: you need a car. Public transport is bad and all locals have cars.

Willemstad is a city in Curaçao, located on the west side of the island, overlooking the Caribbean Sea.The historic centre of Willemstad is one of the largest UNESCO World Heritage Sites. A walk around the old city centre with its restored houses and buildings is a must. It is also a city of many cultures, which have brought their influence to the island.There is an excellent art museum here, including works by Picasso, and the remaining buildings of the old fortress are also worth a visit.The city was built on the sandy remains of a giant coral reef and reclaimed land, so the sand is still very visible here. Willemstad is the capital of Curaçao and is the largest city on the island. The main industries are oil refining, chemicals, and tourism.
