The Journey
Queen Emma Bridge
The Queen Emma Bridge, affectionately known as the 'Swinging Old Lady,' is a floating pontoon bridge that gracefully connects the vibrant neighborhoods of Punda and Otrobanda in Willemstad. Built in 1888, this pedestrian-only bridge swings open multiple times a day to allow ships to pass, offering a unique spectacle. Illuminated at night, it provides a picturesque view of the Willemstad waterfront. A must-see landmark, it’s more than just a crossing; it’s a symbol of Curaçao's history and ingenuity.
Kura Hulanda Village
Step back in time at Kura Hulanda Village, a meticulously restored colonial neighborhood in Otrobanda, Willemstad. Once a derelict area, it has been transformed into a vibrant complex of cobblestone lanes and colorful Dutch Caribbean buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th centuries. Today, it houses boutique shops, art galleries, cozy cafes, and a luxury boutique hotel. Beyond its beauty, Kura Hulanda is also home to the Museum Kurá Hulanda, which sheds light on the history of slavery and the transatlantic slave trade, offering a profound and moving cultural experience amidst lush tropical gardens.
Otrobanda Street Art
