Why go
Walk Zeppenfeldstraat and the surrounding streets to see how public art, Caribbean culture and older commercial buildings share the town center. San Nicolaas developed as a refinery company town, which helps explain its different character from Oranjestad. It also makes a useful town stop before or after the southeastern beaches.
What to look for
- Zeppenfeldstraat is a promenade with shops and historic buildings.
- Street art adds another layer to the town center.
- Refinery-era buildings reflect the town’s industrial past.
Useful to know
- Explore the center on foot around Zeppenfeldstraat.
- Pair the town with Baby Beach or Rodgers Beach on the island’s southeastern end.
- Check individual galleries and museums before planning an indoor visit.
