Networking Dinner
YOU HAVEN’T SEEN CURACAO IF YOU HAVEN’T BEEN TO FORT NASSAU!
Fort Nassau restaurant is unique in all aspects. Situated high upon a hill at the harbour’s entrance, it has a beautiful 360º view over part of the island and the city of Willemstad with the unique bridges that connect Punda and Otrobanda. At night a sea of lights stretches to the horizon offering the most spectacular view.
The historical character of the 18th-century fort, the contemporary interior, the breathtaking view and the good food make your visit to Fort Nassau a memorable experience. The Curaçao sunset is best viewed from the terrace around the bar, tropical cocktail in hand!
