Otrabanda, Curaçao

Otrabanda lies opposite Punda, on the west side of the Sint Annabaai in Willemstad. This historic neighbourhood has colourful streets, murals and an atmosphere all its own. Thanks to the Pontjesbrug you can easily walk back and forth between the two parts of the city.

From Pontjesbrug to colourful street art

From the waterfront you look out over the Sint Annabaai and the facades of Punda. Walk into the neighbourhood and discover the combination of restored buildings, local shops and street art. It is worth not only walking along the main route, but also taking a relaxed look around.

Dining with a view of the city

On the waterfront and in the surrounding streets you will find places for coffee, lunch and dinner. From some terraces you have a view of the harbour entrance, the Pontjesbrug and the other side of Willemstad.

Visiting Otrabanda with a rental car

For a city walk it is best to park the car and continue on foot. Check in advance where you are allowed to park; in the narrow streets there is not space everywhere. A visit to Otrabanda is easy to combine with Punda and Pietermaai.

If you then continue further into the island, the western part of the city gives you good connections to the roads towards Piscadera and the west side of Curaçao.
