Unser Curacao-Quiz

Na, kennst Du die Antwort?

Quizfrage

Is it called Otrobanda or Otrabanda (the district of Willemstad)?

Antwort

Both are correct!

In the literal translation from the local language Papiamentu, Otrobanda means the “other side”. It doesn’t matter whether you say Otrobanda or Otrabanda, confirms Pablo from Iguana Ride, who offers city tours on e-scooters through the various districts.

Otrabanda is the district of Willemstad that lies opposite Punda. The St. Annabaai strait separates the two districts. How do you get across? The Queen Emma Bridge is for pedestrians, and the Queen Juliana Bridge is for all motor vehicles.

The picture shows the Briónplein in Otrobanda/Otrabanda with the flag of Curacao.

The Briónplein is located in Otrobanda or Otrabanda

  • Quiz Question

    How do you get from Otrobanda to Punda when the Queen Emma Bridge has been moved to the side due to a ship crossing?

    Answer

    No problem, there is a ferry dock a few meters further on, on De Rouvilleweg opposite the Gouverneur restaurant.

    Cute, symmetrical ferry boats (white and blue with an orange roof) take you to the other side.
    You should really take a ride on one of these – especially at night. Then you have a unique view of the colorfully illuminated Queen Emma Bridge right from the water.
    And best of all: the crossing is free!

  • Quiz Question

    How many inhabitants does Curacao have?

    Answer

    Over 166,000 people currently live all over the island.

    For an island 60 km long and 444 square kilometers in size, that’s not so few. This means that there are approximately 375 inhabitants per 1 square kilometer. However, most people live in and around Willemstad. The rest of the island is less densely populated.
