For meals, transport, tips - whats the safe amount to carry in Curacao ? Trying to plan a daily budget for a month long trip
Roughly $80 a day worked well for me on the island, getting meals from floating markets, taxis or buses to beaches, and occasional tips. Staying near Renaissance Mall gave me easy access to transport and dining options.
Curacao isn’t super cheap, so plan on about $78 a day covering food, transport, and tips. I found dining in Otrobanda offered good food at reasonable prices. Taxis to beaches like Cas Abao cost around $15 one-way.
My daily budget in Curacao hovered near $80, which covered café meals, bus rides, and sightseeing. I stayed near the Queen Emma Bridge and found taxis along the waterfront convenient though sometimes pricey.
Traveling around Willemstad, budgeting about $75 daily was enough to cover meals, local bus or taxi rides, and tipping. I ate at places like Plasa Bieu for cheap local dishes and took taxis costing $10-15 for short rides. Hotels near Pietermaai District were moderately priced.
