2nd stop – Fort Vigilance

This is where you take the beautiful overview photos of Willemstad.
3rd stop – Chobolobo country house
The third stop is one to enjoy: you’ll go for a tour to Landhuis Chobolobo, the distillery of the original Blue Curaçao liqueur. You can take a fun tour here to see how the liqueur is made. Of course, you can also sample liquor and don’t forget to take a bottle to enjoy at home.
4th stop – Plasa Bieu & Round Market.
