Quizfrage

What is the story behind the colorful facades of the Handelskade in Willemstad?

Antwort

Around 1815, Governor Albert Kikkert ordered the houses to be painted in bright colors, as the original white of the facades supposedly dazzled his eyes too much.

In reality, however, he was involved in the only paint factory on the island and thus made a good business. It is thanks to him that Willemstad has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997.

The Handelskade is the waterfront promenade in Punda. The famous, colorful facades of the colonial buildings are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

  • Quiz Question

    Who or what is Hato?

    Answer

    Hato is the name of Curacao International Airport (CUR), the only international airport on Curacao.

    There are also the Hato Caves or Grottoes of Hato. These are a network of limestone caves. They are located opposite Hato airport.

    Perhaps you could take a look at them on your departure day? The planes to Amsterdam don’t usually take off until the evening anyway. From the cave entrance you have an excellent view of the airport, the taxiway and the runway. Worth seeing!

  • Quiz Question

    What is Klein Curacao?

    Answer

    Klein Curacao is the uninhabited neighboring island of Curacao, located approx. 11 km to the southeast. The smaller of the two white stars on the Curacao flag represents the island, which is just under 3 kilometers long and 1 kilometer wide.

    It is a popular excursion destination by boat. The only attraction is the old, red and white lighthouse, which forms a beautiful contrast to the barren landscape and the blue sky.

    Even more attractive are the coral reefs and shipwrecks around the island, which attract numerous snorkelers and divers.

    Your most important accessory for Klein Curacao: sun protection – in any way!
