Around the early 18th century, the walled city of Willemstad had more than 200 houses, and there was no place within the walls for more buildings. The first expansion took place about half a mile east, that soon became the suburb of Pietermaai. Residences were built on both sides of the strip.

TIPS FROM OUR PARTNERS CURRENCY Our currency on Curaรงao is the Antillean Guilder (also called the Florin) and abbreviated ANG. or NAFL. , but $ are widely accepted as well (you may get ANG as change instead of USD). Payments can also be made by credit card in most places, however some merchants only accept cash. The prices in island stores are fixed, and not a jumping-off point for bargaining.
EXCHANGE RATES Exchange rates may vary at Hotels or stores. Maduro & Curielโs Bank does exchange most common currencies at their branches. The ATM machines (Bankomatikoโs) on the island will give you the option for USD or Florin (using the daily exchange rate) withdrawals.
CHECK YOUR RECEIPT Always double-check your receipt whether the prices are in ANG or USD to avoid any surprises when receiving your statement at the end of your trip.
TIPPING
Giving a tip is something to show appreciation and gratuity for rendered services. Here is a rule of thumb for tipping on Curaรงao: Restaurants: 10-20% Housekeeping: 1$ per night Diving: 5$ per tank Taxi or Tours: 10% of total amount spent Bellboys: 1$ per bag BO BANKO AMIGU

TIPS FROM OUR PARTNERS TRAFFIC SIGNS Traffic signs in Curaรงao are, in general, similar to traffic signs in Europe and the USA. However, not everyone follows the signs as diligently as back home, so always stay vigilant and be sure the crossing is free to cross.
DRIVING IN THE RAIN Most of our roads are paved but some are still the quaint sandy roads. Always be careful especially after a rainfall as the puddles formed by rain may be hiding a hole in the road. Important to remember is that our roads get very slippery when wet. So please slow down when driving in the rain. ennia MCBCARS RENTAL
Always have the number of your car-rental at hand in case of an emergency.
TRAVEL INSURANCE โข
Always report theft or loss during your trip to the local police or another official agency, if necessary. โข
Keep all damaged items until after the claim is settled.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR VALUABLES Most beaches, especially when diving is available, have lockers available for you to stow away your personal items. However when planning to visit remote spots on our island best to leave your valuables at home. Always leave your passport at a safe place and donโt take it with you on tours. locked cars are NOT safe! BROUGHT TO YOU BY
