Experience Curaçao!

The area and the island

Curaçao is located in the southern Caribbean Sea. The island belongs to the Leeward Islands and therefore (unlike the Windward Islands) is not in the hurricane zone. The capital is Willemstad, with its world-famous colored buildings. The language is Papiamento, but Dutch is also spoken everywhere. About 25 km southeast of the island is Klein Curaçao where you can take a nice day trip.

You pay here with NAF, the Antillean guilder, which you can withdraw everywhere. In the stores and restaurants you can also pay with your debit card and credit card. In the area there are fun activities to do and beautiful things to see.
