Audio tour Willemstad

Description

Willemstad has always been an energetic, regional hub where trade interests, cultures and religions met. This tour takes you to one of the most impressive historic neighborhoods in the Caribbean, the western part of old Willemstad: Otrobanda. The Otrobanda bario has been of historical importance since the first mansions were built in 1707. The tour was developed by our own architect Anko van der Woude and is packed with interesting information. During the tour you will learn about the typical Curaçao architectural styles, the building materials and the customs of life in this old quarter and the history of the island, with the restored buildings in the narrow alleys or the spacious kuras.
