Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, is one of the most photogenic ports in the Caribbean — a UNESCO World Heritage harbor lined with candy-colored Dutch colonial buildings and split by a floating pontoon bridge that swings open for passing ships. Beyond the postcard waterfront are hidden coves with vivid snorkeling, limestone caves, and centuries of Dutch-Caribbean history. It's a port where simply wandering the old town is half the fun.
The Queen Emma 'swinging' bridge opens frequently to let boats through — if it's swung aside when you want to cross, free ferries run alongside it. Save time to photograph the Handelskade waterfront in the morning light; it's the best-known view in the Dutch Caribbean.
