cruiserjt Posted April 27, 2014 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2014 I have searched this forum and it appears much of the shops will be closed for Christmas Day - honestly I am happy that those who work in these areas can enjoy their day off. I am thinking that we will just wander off the ship (arrive at 8AM) and walk around the port - I have three questions - I saw a link here once about a self guided walking tour of the city and now cannot find it - any links or ideas? What is the culture of Curacao in regards to Christmas - I once read that the island residents are primarily Catholic / Christian. Having grown up Catholic - I wouldn't mind just being part of Christmas Day on the Island. Any ideas? Should we venture in a taxi - without a plan would it be $$? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shutterbug999 Posted May 6, 2014 #2 Share Posted May 6, 2014 yes the island is predominately catholic - 1 English speaking church on the Island - closish to port Not sure where to get online map - but normally the tourist info booth is open opposite the floating bridge which has great free booklets incl 3 walking tours These are great - just be a bit careful of bags in the small alley ways - but so far I've not had any problems touting a large camera around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is safe, but don't wander alone in the back alleys and stay in the ship area when it gets dark. Have a wonderful day in Curacao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
