During one of my visits to Willemstad, I did an audio tour of Otrobanda. A very interesting walk, during which I learned a lot about history, saw a totally different Willemstad from the popular Pietermaai and marveled at beautiful street art. The extraordinary murals alone are worth this walk. Read all about this tour of Otrobanda, a neighborhood still clearly in development, and get carried away by the cozy Willemstad.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat: left;\n\t\t\t\tmargin-top: 10px;\n\t\t\t\ttext-align: center;\n\t\t\t\twidth: 100%;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 img {\n\t\t\t\tborder: 2px solid #cfcfcf;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {\n\t\t\t\tmargin-left: 0;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\/* see gallery_shortcode() in wp-includes\/media.php *\/\n\t\t<\/style>\n\t\t<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-32152 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><dl class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<dt class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad.jpg' data-rel=\"penci-gallery-image-content\" ><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Street art Otrobanda Willemstad\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad-744x343.jpg 744w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad-420x194.jpg 420w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad-768x355.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad-1170x540.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Straatkunst-Willemstad-585x270.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/dt><\/dl><br style=\"clear: both\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2>Otrobanda Willemstad: a piece of history<\/h2>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Otrobanda means &#8220;the other side.<\/strong>  In fact, this district, as seen from the Punda district, lies across the St. Anna Bay. Together, these two neighborhoods form <strong>the historic center of Willemstad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1886, Punda and Otrobanda have been connected by the <strong>Queen Emma Bridge (the famous pontoon bridge)<\/strong>. During my entire vacation in Cura\u00e7ao, it was closed (or open, just depending on how you look at it) due to a technical malfunction. So I don&#8217;t have a picture of it, but since the pontjesbrug is such a familiar sight of Willemstad, you probably know what I&#8217;m talking about.<\/p>\n<p>In 1974, another bridge connected Punda and Otrobanda: the <strong>Queen Juliana Bridge<\/strong>. That&#8217;s that huge high bridge you have to cross by car to go from the east of Willemstad to the west.  <strong>Terrifying<\/strong> if you&#8217;re afraid of heights I can tell you, especially if you&#8217;re riding it for the first time and hadn&#8217;t realized how enormous high this bridge actually is. By the way, during the street art tour, you have a great <strong>view<\/strong> of this bridge.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style>\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-2 .gallery-item

no more space on the other side at Punda.  <strong>In the 18th and 19th centuries many black workers settled there, and later in the 20th century Otrobanda was a poor working-class neighborhood.<\/strong>  Which at the time was too dangerous to visit as a tourist.<\/p>\n<p><strong>In the 1990s, the neighborhood was refurbished during a major urban renewal project<\/strong> in which Holland played a major role. For example, a hundred refurbished authentic working-class houses have been transformed into a luxury hotel. Where you will also find the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/musea-op-curacao-die-je-gezien-moet-hebben\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Kura Hulanda museum<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a> can be found. An absolute must-see during your vacation in Cura\u00e7ao.<\/p>\n<p>Since 1997, the districts of Otrobanda and Punda have been on the <strong>UNESCO World Heritage<\/strong> List.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Around the year 2010, street art became popular in Willemstad.<\/strong>  In Otrobanda, more and more murals turned the streetscape into a special spectacle. New murals are added every year during the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kayakaya.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>\n  <strong>Kaya Kaya Festival<\/strong><br \/>\n<\/a>. An organization focused not only on street art, but more importantly on further developing and making Otrobanda safer.

Na bijna 3 jaar in Bogot\u00e1 te hebben gewoond ben ik verhuisd naar het leuke dorpje Sop\u00f3, Cundinamarca. Om begin 2022 weer terug te verhuizen naar Bogot\u00e1, waar ik nog steeds woon. Vanuit daar neem ik je met veel passie mee op reis het prachtige Colombia in en deel ik allerlei handige tip &amp; reisroutes. Als local ken ik de leukste plekjes en geef ik actuele informatie. Ook deel ik alles over duurzaam reizen buiten de gebaande paden wereldwijd.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/","blogbesabine","sabine.at.besabine","besabine","https:\/\/x.com\/Gaarne_inloggen_wel_nu_alsjeblieft_dankjewel159"],"url":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/over-mij\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32152","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=32152"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32152\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32148"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=32152"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=32152"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.besabine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=32152"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
