You step from an air‑conditioned van onto sun‑warmed cobblestones and the city greets you with color: pastel facades of Punda catching the light, murals that push you down Otrobanda’s alleys, and the distant rumble of the harbor. A private guide leads—Dani, in this case—so the route bends to your questions: more architecture, more street art, or a stop for blue liqueur tasting.
