Come along with me for a walk across the swing bridge in Willemstad, Curaçao. It’s the way you get from the cruise port side over into downtown, and it’s short, windy and hot.

Key Takeaways
- The swing bridge takes you over into the downtown area.
- It was quite windy the day I filmed, and you get a picture postcard view from the bridge.
- When the bridge opens for ship traffic, a little shuttle runs back and forth.
- Most of the time you just wait, since it usually isn’t closed for long.
- It was hot, so plan accordingly.
Good to Know
I got solicited by someone trying to sell me drugs on the way across, so expect the occasional hustle and a polite no thank you.
If you catch the bridge open, don’t panic. The shuttle keeps you moving, and the wait is usually short.
