Interesting Things To Know About Curaçao: Facts, Tips & Things You Didn’t Know
Twistour's Curaçao Interesting blog is where we share the quirky, surprising, and useful details that make this island stand out in the Caribbean in 2025. It’s where practical tips meet fun facts — the kind of knowledge that makes your trip smoother and helps you see Curaçao in a new light.
We write about curiosities like how Curaçao is home to over 35 beaches, but most are small, tucked-away coves instead of wide stretches. We explain why the colorful houses in Willemstad were painted bright shades (hint: it had to do with an old governor and headaches). And we cover practical travel tips like how local buses work, when to avoid cruise ship crowds in Punda, and what’s really worth buying at floating markets.
You’ll also find interesting insights into island life: the role of aloe in local wellness, why flamingos gather at the salt flats near Sint Willibrordus, and how Curaçao’s multicultural mix has shaped everything from music to cuisine. For deeper curiosity, the UNESCO World Heritage listing for Willemstad tells the story of its unique architecture, while Curaçao Chronicle shares local news and cultural perspectives.
This section is designed to give you the kind of insider knowledge that makes you say, “I had no idea” — blending fun trivia with practical details to enrich your time on the island.
