From dry desert to the Dutch colonial capital, from quiet beaches to nice bays. Around every corner you will find a different miracle. Discover the unique and versatile island, which you will embrace with warm, sunny days and even warmer sunnier people.
UNIQUE MIX OF OLD AND NEW
The capital of Aruba, Oranjestad, has a unique mix of old and new which gives the city a huge charm. Discover fascinating restored historical monuments such as the green town hall. Take the state-of-the-art tram and meander through the city along Main Street. Visit Fort Zoutman, Aruba's oldest building. Attend the Bon Bini Festival, which takes place every Tuesday in the courtyard, and enjoy folkloric dancers in traditional costumes, local music and art and culinary specialties.
WONDROUS NATURE
Aruba is blessed with many natural wonders. Climb the steps to the top of the Haystack formed by ancient volcanoes. Stroll the tranquil sandy beaches on the west coast or explore the jagged bays on the north coast. Venture into Arikok National Park, where beautiful Caribbean white sand beaches turn into rugged desert land, where towering green cacti alternate with limestone cliffs. Discover here two of the island's most pristine natural wonders, Fountain Cave & Natural Pool. Go horseback riding, mountain biking or get behind the wheel of an ATV or UTV and discover the scenic nature of the hinterland and breathtaking coastline.
SUNRISE CITY
The sun rises on the east side of the island, where San Nicolas is located. This makes this charming coastal town the best place to watch the sunrise. It is also home to the Aruba Art Fair, an annual festival where international and local artists create street art. A fantastic time to discover this city, when the artists provide abandoned paths and decaying walls with the necessary colors.
NORTH ARUBA
Palm Beach with its white sand beaches, palm trees, piers and beach bars, the protected wetlands of bubaliplas bird sanctuary, Fisherman's Hut a paradise for windsurfers and kiteboarders and spectacular snorkeling spots at Malmok, Boca Catalina and Arasha, that is what you will find in North Aruba, the epicenter of Aruba.
