Historical City & Local Street Art Tour

OVERVIEW

Travel through Dutch-influenced Willemstad on foot and by bus and pause along the way for photos of the most revealing landmarks. From Rif Fort, you will enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of the harbor with the option of standing atop the 19th-century defensive walls. A vantage point nearby will present a different perspective of Willemstad and a tasting of sweets that will complement the local liqueur that you will be offered at the fort. Stop at historical attractions such as the oldest synagogue in the America's and the "wedding cake building" in the historical "scharloo"; home to the first "nouveau riche". It’s the unusual street art that makes this outing even more special. You can expect to see rainbow-colored stairs, a two-story mural of a naked chicken and the iconic sign that simply says Dushi, a Dutch and Papiamentu word that means anything from “good looking” to “delicious” to “nice.” Afterwards, you will have time to shop. How dushi is that?
