Curaçao, a Caribbean paradise with its capital Willemstad, offers rich culture and breathtaking natural beauty. The island is known for its colourful buildings, white sandy beaches like Cas Abao Beach and historical sights like Fort Amsterdam. But that's not all. With a Sunny Car, you can also discover Curaçao's hidden treasures, such as Shete Boka National Park, the Hato Caves and Christoffel Mountain. And the extensive road network makes it easy to drive from one attraction to another.
There are no real motorways on Curaçao. Around capital Willemstad you will find the only two-lane road with two lanes in the same direction on the entire island: the Schottegatweg. Note that this road also allows you to overtake on the right. Around and in Willemstad it can be busy and you may even end up in a traffic jam in the morning. The rest of the island is generally quiet. The main route between Willemstad and Westpunt is easy to drive. Curaçao's secondary roads are often of inferior quality. There can be potholes and large holes in the road surface and lineation is sometimes missing. On country roads, be aware of slow-moving traffic and crossing animals, such as goats and donkeys.
Do you plan to stay near your accommodation? Then a car from the Small or Economy category will do. Do you like to drive along the coast of the whole island? Then some extra space in the car would be nice and you will end up in the Compact category. The Comfort category or higher is recommended when you want to drive on a road with a lot of altitude difference, such as the Mountain Route on Mount Christoffel.
Curaçao is a great destination all year round. The island has a tropical climate with constant temperatures and refreshing breezes. The best time to visit is during the dry season from January to September, but even in the rainy season you can enjoy sunshine here.
Curaçao is known for its diverse cuisine. Try local delicacies like keshi yena (stuffed cheese), stobá (stew) and delicious fish dishes like cod with funchi (corn porridge). Don't forget to also try a Blue Curaçao cocktail, made with the island's famous liqueur.
