Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:
Seamlessly blending the old and new to create a distinctive charm, Oranjestad is a bustling harbor city and the capital of Aruba. Beautifully restored landmark buildings stand alongside international luxury retailers and high-end boutiques, and a variety of cafés, restaurants, casinos, bars, and nightclubs provide a buzzing nightlife for both locals and visitors to the town. A new state-of-the-art tram runs from the cruise terminal into town and all the way along the newly landscaped Main Street, moving the thousands of cruise-ship goers that visit Aruba every year. Tuesday evenings present the Bon Bini Festival in the outer courtyard of the Historical Museum, which showcases the island's history through local music and art, traditionally costumed folkloric dancers, and delicious culinary specialties.
