- Keep your valuables secure and avoid displaying large amounts of cash or expensive jewelry.
- Pay attention to beach safety flags and warnings about strong currents.
- Stay hydrated and use sun protection to protect yourself from heat and sunburn.
Public transit
While exploring Curaçao, you might find the local bus system convenient and affordable. Buses, known as "konvoi," operate on two main lines: the urban "City Bus" and the larger "Mini Bus." Key routes cover popular areas, including Punda, Otrabanda, and various beach destinations. Buses typically run from early morning until late evening.
