Address:
Otrobanda, Willemstad, Curau00E7ao

Otrobanda is one of the historically important quarters of Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao. The district was developed in the 18th cenury and picked up in the early 19th century when the once walled city of Punda became overpopulated. Otrobanda was connected to Punda in 1888 via the Queen Emma Bridge and in 1974 by the Queen Juliana Bridge.

The Brionplein is the centerpiece of Otrobanda’s waterfront.
