The best way to experience Willemstad is on foot, where colorful streets, colonial architecture, and centuries of history unfold one block at a time. A guide meets the group at the ship before leading into the city's UNESCO-listed center. Cross the Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge to Fort Amsterdam, built in 1635, where a Protestant church occupies the rear courtyard and the governor's residence remains in active use. Continue past the former floating market and the oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, in continuous use since 1732, before crossing into Otrobanda to explore the restored historic monuments of the Hoogstraat district. Lunch at Rustiq Restaurant, one of the island's most popular spots, provides a relaxed finish, with the option to remain in the city center afterward.
