The Floating Market sits along the waterfront in Punda, where the colorful boats and produce stands have been part of Willemstad’s street life for generations. Traditionally, vendors travel by boat from Venezuela bringing fresh fruit, vegetables, fish, and other goods to sell along the quay.
Even when the market is quieter, it remains an interesting piece of Curaçao’s history and its connection with neighboring Venezuela. It’s right along the route between Punda’s main shopping streets and the waterfront, so it’s an easy one to pass by while exploring the city.
