When the Queen Emma Bridge is open and therefore unavailable for pedestrians who wish to cross from one side of Willemstad to the other, they can be transported free of charge by the ponchi, a small ferry.

A very short but necessary journey! The ferries are frequent and efficient!

It is a short 15 minute flight between Curacao and Bonaire on Bonaire EXEL.
We left on time, after we waited 3 hrs for our flight. The flight that we were to be on had been discontinued so it pays to confirm the flight before arriving at the airport.

The best way to get around the island is to rent a car, buy a map, and drive.
Most of the roads are paved, driving is on the right, and it is easy to get around.
We got our car from Budget and were very pleased with the service.

Hato Airport is about 15 minutes by car from Willemstad. Bus No. 6 goes to the Otrobanda bus station, the fare is 1,25 ANG.
Curacao has direct flights to Amsterdam, Miami, San Juan, Atlanta, other Caribbean islands and South America.
There is a departure tax of 6,80 US$ for flights to Bonaire, Aruba and St. Maarten and 22 US$ for all other destinations.

If you're lucky enough to catch ships passing through Willemstad's harbor you can experience the rather unique opening of the pontoon bridge that swings out like a gate. Locals call it "the swinging old lady."

When the bridge is open, pedestrians are transported free of charge by the ponchi, a small ferry.

There are no direct flights to Curaçao from the UK, but convenient connections are available with scheduled airlines. These include KLM Royal Dutch Airlines, which flies daily to Curaçao from Amsterdam (to which there are regular connecting flights from more than 20 UK airports); British Airways to Caracas, with connecting flights from Air Aruba, DCA, Avensa and Aserca; Air Jamaica from London-Heathrow via Montego Bay, Jamaica (Mondays, Thursdays and Saturdays); and charter flights with Sobelair via Brussels.
