Getting around Willemstad
If you’ll be staying around Punda, the historic center of Willemstad and its busiest tourist area, then getting around on foot is your best option; it’s reasonably compact and the streets are pedestrian-only. For trips further afield, jump in a shared taxi, or consider renting a car to get around. It’s easy to rent a bicycle, too, but you should take care as the roads on Curaçao can be dangerous. Browse Willemstad rental cars.
Best time to visit
Whatever time of year you visit Willemstad, you’ll find nice warm weather, with temperatures in the high 80s F (around 30 C). There is a wet season, from October to December, but you’ll rarely see prolonged rains, and the island becomes very lush and green during this period. February and March are the best months for weather: the hills are still green, but there’s little rain and it’s nice and sunny.

Beautiful water. A lot of the island is still very poor but we resented a car and drive to other beaches to snorkel and eat. Lion’s Dive Beach Resort also had a great dive staff and we enjoyed diving with them. We will go back!
