Curaçao vibrates with the colors of the trademark, 17th century Dutch buildings of the capital, Willemstad Around the countryside, you can also visit Curacao’s trademark yellow Plantation homes or "landhuizen" which are often now art galleries or restaurants. Willemstad which is built on either side of a spectacular natural harbor is a wonderful place to stroll, enjoy outdoor cafes and elegant shopping. In fact, Willemstad is on UNESCO world heritage list for its incredible beauty and charm. Habitat runs a free shuttle three times a day into town so you can explore the city by day or night.
