Experiencing a relaxing vacation in Willemstad in the Netherlands Antilles does not necessarily mean spending large sums of money.

Willemstad is the capital and the largest city of Netherland Antilles. It is one of the must-see places in Curacao Island that comes with a vibrant port considered as a UNESCO World Heritage site. 

Flights that go to and from the island are usually from Amsterdam. There are no regular boats or ferries that travel to the place. But there are many cruise ships that visit its famous port or just pass close by. 

There are also many natural and man-made attractions within the city. These include scenic beaches and blue pristine waters of the Caribbean and historical landmarks like those found within the Punda District. This is walled and fortified area where tourists can enjoy over 700 preserved buildings marked as national monuments.

There are also many apartments that feature homelike amenities perfect for families and group guests.

There are also tons of attractions anchored within the city.
