Transportation from Curaçao Airport to the City Center
Curaçao or Hato International Airport is the only airport of Curaçao Island and is located approximately 12 km from the capital, Willemstad.
You don't have many options to go to Curaçao city center from Curaçao Airport. Therefore, the first thing you should do is check whether the hotel you are staying at offers free airport shuttle service. If they do, you're lucky, if they don't, your remaining options are taxis or local buses.
From here you can take the buses called Konvoii. These buses go from the airport to Otrobanda and Punda, which are neighborhoods of the city of Willemstad. At the last stop of the bus, you can find vehicles going to other parts of the island, and you can go further by changing vehicles. You can pay the ticket price on the bus to the driver in cash. The distance between them is 15 kilometers on average and the journey takes about 40 minutes.
The routes and timetables of these buses are written on the signs at the bus stops. However, you can assume that the flights operate every hour between 07.00 in the morning and 23.00 in the evening on weekdays and less frequently on weekends.
You can also use the minibuses that go to the crowded parts of the island by going to the main road. You can recognize these minibuses by the word BUS on their plates. There is also a sign on the window of the minibus, just like in our minibuses, with the route it goes on, and they stop when you raise your hand. The ticket fee is paid in cash and to the driver.
As of 2022, when this article was written, Uber or a similar transportation app is not working in Curaçao yet. That's why your only option is local taxis. You can find a 24/7 taxi from the airport to the city centre. Although taxis here do not have a taximeter, there are predetermined amounts for certain routes. That's why you have to ask how much you will pay and agree on the price before you get in the taxi.
The distance of 15 km takes about 20 minutes. It is worth noting that if you take a taxi between 23.00 and 06.00 in the morning, or if you take a taxi with more than 4 people, the taxi fare increases by 25 percent and the drivers expect a 10 percent tip in addition to the taxi fare.
