Giantfan13 Posted December 30, 2017 #1 Share Posted December 30, 2017 We just booked a last minute cruise, leaving this Friday and one of our ports is Curacao. We are NOT beach people and I do try and stay out of the sun as I have had several cases of skin cancer. That said, we have read that Willemstad/ Curacao is a very wonderful town to wander around in. I heard that you can get a walking tour map some where in town and that would be great. Is this info correct? We have also read there is a Synagogue there, is that within the town and in walking area? Some one mentioned a unique cave, again, is that walkable or do you need a tour or transportation to get to any of these things? Just looking for things to do to spend a day not on a beach. Any suggestions would be appreciated, especially at this late date. Cheers Len Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bup1224 Posted December 31, 2017 #2 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Len - the caves would require a tour or taxi to get you there. The synagogue is across the floating bridge in Punda and is walkable. There is a museum there as well. There is a visitor kiosk on the Punda side of the Queen Emma floating bridge. There are shops and cafes in Punda. There is also a Maritime Museum in Punda towards the left of the bridge. The slavery museum is on the Otrabanda side of the Queen Emma floating bridge. Punda is a great area to walk around as well. Hope this info is helpful Sent from my SM-G920V using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
