Dutch colonial pastel jewel of the ABC islands
Willemstad's Punda district is a UNESCO World Heritage Site where Dutch colonial townhouses in brilliant pastels—hot pink, turquoise, marigold, lime—line the waterfront. A pontoon bridge opens for boats, and the harbor reflects every bright color like a Dutch master's painting. The island's oil refinery heritage has faded, leaving behind authentic Caribbean culture and some of the world's best shore-accessible diving.
