Many Jewish refugees settled in Curaçao in the 16th-century. The locals, rather like the Dutch, speak many languages. The capital city of Willemstad was established in 1634. It’s distinguished by colourful Dutch colonial buildings. Curaçao is a major beach destination – there are 35, each with distinct characteristics. You’ll also find buzzing nightlife, including a great live music scene.
