5 things you should know about Curacao
Are you planning to go on holiday to our beautiful island? Then there are a number of things you should know about Curaçao. Curaçao, for example, is located in a different time zone and in a different climate. A number of things you should take into account. In this article you can read 5 things you should know about Curaçao.
What time is it in Curacao?
Curaçao is on the other side of the world, so also in a different time zone. Curaçao falls in time zone UTC –4. This means that during our summer time it is 6 hours earlier in Curaçao and during our winter time, it is 5 hours earlier. It is important to take this into account if you fly to this sunny holiday destination. Throughout the year it gets dark quite early on the island. Between approximately 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM. At noon the sun is at its peak, which means that you should be well protected in the sun at that time. Fortunately, it stays nice and warm in the evenings, despite the sun that sets early.How long is the flight to Curacao
Flying to Curaçao is generally 9 hours, this is a direct flight. Exactly how long it takes to fly to Curaçao depends strongly on the type of aircraft. There can be a difference of 10% between two types of aircraft. For example, an Airbus A380 flies at an average of 950 kilometers per hour, a Boeing 747, on the other hand, flies at 890 kilometers per hour. The wind force and direction also influence the duration of the flight between the Netherlands and Curaçao. Taxiing at the airports can also take time. However, this is not included in the total flight time. In general, you can therefore assume a flight of 9 hours between the Netherlands and Curaçao.
How big is Curacao?
Curaçao is part of the ABC islands together with Aruba and Bonaire. With an area of 444 km2, Curaçao is the largest island of these three. The total length of the island is about 61 kilometers. About 154,000 inhabitants live on the island, which is filled annually by the many tourists. This is due to the snow-white beaches, beautiful underwater world and the beautiful bays of the island. The islanders speak their official language Papiaments, which is a mixture of Dutch, languages from Western Africa and Portuguese. However, Dutch is the official language, so you can speak your own language on the island.
Waarmee betaalt u in Curaçao?
The currency in Curaçao is the Antillean guilder (ANG), US dollars are accepted almost everywhere. Debit cards are accepted everywhere and there are plenty of payment terminals. With the Dutch debit card you can go almost anywhere, but it is important that you turn on the 'world mode' function. It is best to withdraw as much money as possible per transaction, because costs are charged per transaction. You can withdraw a maximum of €500 per day.Appartement huren op Curaçao?
