Nicknamed "Our Swinging Old Lady" by locals, Queen Emma Bridge is Willemstad's signature landmark. It spans Sint Anna Bay to connect the neighborhoods of Punda and Otrobanda. For a glimpse at Curaçao's colorful history, don't miss Museum Kura Hulanda. It's housed in a characterful 19th-century merchant's apartment and loaded with New World history, covering everything from the slave trade to contemporary Caribbean art. If you love the latter, head to Gallery Alma Blou, a 17th-century plantation house that's been converted into a cooperative art space.
Most vacationers arrive on Curaçao in search of sun, sand and a golden tan. The island delivers, with a string of sugar-white beaches to explore. There's plenty of action off the sand, with historic neighborhoods, such as Punda, packed with boutiques, galleries and breezy cafes. Otrobanda is known for its winding streets and restored Dutch mansions, while Pietermaai is a hotspot for Afro-Caribbean restaurants and upscale bars. Prefer to mix your own Curaçao cocktails?
