Willemstad: City Tour, Chobolobo & Mambo Beach Escape

Discover the vibrant charm of Otrobanda, one of Willemstad’s most colorful and historic neighborhoods. As you drive through its lively streets, you’ll see rows of pastel-painted houses, stunning murals, and a blend of old Dutch architecture with island flair. Your guide will share stories about Otrobanda’s rich Afro-Caribbean heritage and how this once-humble district became a creative hub filled with art, music, and local life. You’ll pass notable landmarks, charming alleyways, and get a true feel for Curaçao’s culture beyond the postcards.

Experience a breathtaking drive across the Queen Juliana Bridge, the highest bridge in the Caribbean. From its summit, you’ll enjoy sweeping panoramic views of Willemstad’s colorful waterfront, the floating market, and the famous Handelskade skyline below. It’s a perfect moment to see both Otrobanda and Punda from above — and capture Curaçao’s beauty from a whole new perspective.

After discovering the history and colorful streets of Otrobanda and Punda, enjoy 30 minutes of free time to explore the heart of Willemstad at your own pace. Stroll along the iconic Handelskade, take photos of the floating bridge, browse local boutiques, or grab a refreshing drink at a nearby café. It’s the perfect moment to soak in the city’s vibrant atmosphere and see why Willemstad is one of the Caribbean’s most charming capitals.

Step inside Landhuis Chobolobo, the historic 19th-century mansion that’s home to the world-famous Blue Curaçao liqueur. On this guided visit, you’ll learn about the island’s unique distilling traditions and see how the legendary blue spirit is made from the peel of the local Laraha orange. Enjoy a complimentary tasting of the original Blue Curaçao and other refreshing flavors, and take time to browse the gift shop for authentic souvenirs or bottles to take home.

End your Curaçao adventure with two hours of pure relaxation at the island’s most popular beach. Mambo Beach offers the perfect mix of soft white sand, crystal-clear water, and a lively atmosphere. Take a refreshing swim, sip a tropical drink at a beach bar, or explore the seaside promenade filled with shops, cafes, and music. Whether you prefer to unwind under a palm umbrella or dive into the turquoise sea, it’s the ideal way to experience Curaçao’s laid-back island vibe before heading back to Willemstad.
