Curaçao Street Art

I love discovering street art when I travel, and I’m wowed by the street art in Curaçao! Downtown Willemstad is a treasure trove and since there is a lot, I’ve divided this post by neighborhood, so you can do your own walking tour when you go! if you’ve only got a day in Curaçao, this is the area to visit.

The Top Curaçao Street Art is in Otrobanda

We stayed at an airbnb in Otrobanda, so this hip and growing neighborhood introduced us to the colorful street art of Curaçao. In our first days in the city, we wandered the streets taking photos and learning about the community. We also went on a Free Walking Tour and our guide showed off this trendy neighborhood and its street art.

Street Art in Bonaire

I love exploring places through the street art. It’s cool to see the local talent and what they choose to depict in their murals. I noticed the street art as soon as we could wander the island. Not surprisingly, in Bonaire, the artists paint a lot of marine life. Read on to see and learn about the street art in Bonaire.

The Sea

In Bonaire, locals and tourists celebrate the wonders of the sea and the fun activities to enjoy on and in it. Not surprisingly, that appreciation is reflected in the island’s street art.

Street Art in Guadeloupe

If you love graffiti, you must go to Guadeloupe, especially the city of Pointe-a-Pitre. You may have read my favorite things to do in these French islands; now here’s my guide to the street art in Guadeloupe.

We moved around the islands of Guadeloupe (“Gwada”) on boat and by rental car. The main city of Point-a-Pitre is urban and gritty and full of life, with colorful street art around every corner.

We saw murals on the main roads outside the city but I couldn’t always stop or take pictures from a moving car. I got lots of snaps of the beautiful street art in Guadeloupe, plus sculptures and statues we spotted in the islands.

Welcome to Guadeloupe

Famous for Street Art

I didn’t realize it but Guadeloupe is famous for its street art. The World Kreyol Art Festival takes over the streets of Point-a-Pitre every year and street art is a big focus of the event.
