City Walk Otrobanda
The Otrobanda neighborhood is located in the center of Curacao and is connected to the world-famous Handelskade by the Queen Emma Bridge (Pontjesbrug). Otrobanda has a rich history and you’re going to see it all. As you walk through the streets with Jacqueline, she tells those stories as background to the houses and buildings. She will take you past the most beautiful street art and the friendly residents of this neighborhood.
City Walk Scharloo
Scharloo is characterized by its beautiful listed buildings, colorful streets and colonial mansions. A wonderful neighborhood to walk through. A neighborhood where embassies and government buildings alternate with raw street life. Jacqueline tells you about the people who lived there, the development of the neighborhood, the highs and lows.
Small groups, maximum attention
Jacqueline does the city walk with small groups. That way it won’t be so massive and she can give everyone some personal attention and answer any questions. It also allows her to easily deviate from the standard route if just another alleyway better suits the story she is telling or the question Jacqueline is answering.
