Rif Fort played an important defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can only imagine some of the spectacles its fortified walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress is on the to-do lists of many visitors to Willemstad. But Rif Fort isn't the only highlight in the area. Mambo Beach, Curaçao Sea Aquarium, and Jan Thiel Beach are some other recommended attractions nearby.
