At Riffort, visitors can admire the impressive 19th-century fortifications and learn about their role in the island's defense system. The fort was built by the Dutch in 1828 and was used to protect the city from pirates and other invaders. Fort Amsterdam is located in the heart of Willemstad and is one of the most significant historical sites on the island. Built by the Dutch in the 17th century, the fort played a crucial role in the island's history as a hub for trade and commerce in the Caribbean. One of the most notable features of Fort Amsterdam is the nearby Governor's Palace, which serves as the official residence of the governor of Curacao.
Kura Hulanda is a vibrant and historic neighborhood that is well worth exploring. The area is home to colorful architecture, lively streets, and some of the island's best restaurants and bars. Travelers can stroll through the neighborhood's narrow streets and soak up the unique atmosphere that makes Curacao such a special place.
The Queen Emma Bridge, also known as the "Swinging Old Lady," is a pontoon bridge that connects the neighborhoods of Punda and Otrobanda in Willemstad. The bridge was built in 1888 and has since become one of the most iconic landmarks on the island. Walking across the Queen Emma Bridge is an exhilarating experience that offers stunning views of Willemstad's colorful buildings and bustling harbor. As you walk across the bridge, you can feel it sway gently beneath your feet, adding to the sense of adventure and excitement.
