Cura??ao has a multitude of historic sites, restaurants, and activities. To fully enjoy this beautiful tropical island, travelers will need to decide how to make their way around. Travelers can choose from several methods of transport that vary in price, comfort level, and popularity.

The cheapest way to get around Cura??ao is by taking advantage of the free ferry service that travels between the island's two main shopping centers. If traveling by water isn't your ideal way to see the island, or you want to visit places that can't be accessed by boat, a bus is the next most cost efficient way to travel. Bus service in Cura??ao is a good way to see the island if you're on a budget or if you just want to get a better feel for local life. There are large buses and minibuses that travel all over the island, and public transportation is popular with both tourists and locals.

Renting a bike or moped gives you the chance to see the island from a unique viewpoint. You can travel the island at your own pace and not be confined to the inside of a car. This is a great way for independent nature lovers to see all of the island's natural sites. If you like the idea of independence, but are not quite so outdoorsy, try renting a car. Cura??ao is not a large island compared to some of the islands in the Caribbean, like Puerto Rico, but vacationers who plan on seeing a lot of this tropical paradise may find that renting a car is a convenient method of navigating around the island.

Vacationers have a number of options when it comes to transportation in Cura??ao, and you will find that each method of getting around will appeal to the needs of different travelers. Choose one that best suits your vacationing needs and your personal style of travel.
