Emma bridge divide Willemstad in Punda & Otrabanda. It is also called "Swinging Old Lady". Curacao is very known for this bridge. When the bridge is closed you can use the ferry to go from Otrabanda to Punda or reverse. Don't miss to see it at night when the lights are on. I recommend to take time to do this you won't regret.
