The Punda Willemstad waterfront is indeed picturesque and clearly represents the Curaçao standard postcard print. Neon-lit views of Punda at night are best taken in from the Otrobanda side of Willemstad. Right by the ferry stop, the Gouverneur de Rouville restaurant's balcony provides the perfect vantage point to take it all in and enjoy the seabreeze too.

My wife and I travel a lot. We have been all over the world and few things are as beautiful as this place at night. We had an amazing te just watching this at night.

We never tired of his most-photographed view of Willemstad! It was just as gorgeous at night, when we had dinner on the 4th terrace of the Rif Fort and the flood-light lit buildings across the waterway were the perfect backdrop for a romantic meal!

Colorful buildings along the water with great views. The shopping is lacking. Very few restaurants. Fun music playing at the Iguana Cafe.

Handelskade is the waterfront street on the Punda side of the channel with 15 distinct buildings in beautiful Caribbean pastel colors. It is simply the most photographed view in Curacao. The combination of pastel shades and gabled Dutch influenced architecture is very pleasing to the eyes. Most of the buildings have offices, shops and restaurants so they are not just... More
