]]>Eagle Beach
Eagle Beach has been rated as one of the best beaches in the world, and it’s not hard to understand why. The soft white sand makes it the perfect place to relax with a cocktail in hand while watching the waves. You can also go scuba diving in the turquoise water where you will encounter coral reefs and possibly even a shipwreck.
Oranjestad
As a member of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, Dutch is a widely spoken language in Aruba. The country’s capital, Oranjestad, translates to Orange City, and is a fascinating blend of Dutch colonial architecture and lively Caribbean vibes. Go for a stroll along the waterfront promenade, take a photo beside the “I Love Aruba” sign, and indulge in some duty-free shopping.
Bon Bini Festival
“Bon Bini” is the Aruban phrase for “welcome”, and the weekly Bon Bini Festival is the best way to embrace the island’s culture. Expect music, dancing, and traditional dishes like Keshi Yena and Pastechi.

]]>If this convinced you to include it on your travel list, check out the things you should probably know before visiting.
U.S. Citizens Don’t Need Visa
The great thing about Aruba is that U.S. citizens don’t require a visa. The same applies to EU countries, since Aruba is actually part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, while the UK, Canada, and Ireland are also exempt. All visitors get a free stamp upon arrival that grants them 30 days stay.
The Best Way to Get Around is By Car
If you don’t want to spend your entire stay on the beach, then you will need a car. Renting a car is the best way to get around Aruba if you wish to explore it, as other options like taxis can be unreliable and/or expensive.
Communication is Real Easy
Locals speak the Papiamento language, which is derived from several other languages like Dutch, English, and Spanish. However, communication comes easy since English is widely spoken on the island as well.
U.S. Dollar is the Best Currency to Have
Aruba’s official currency is called florin. However, since the florin is pegged to the U.S. dollar, the latter is also commonly accepted throughout the country. Of course, the banks and exchange offices will also exchange other major currencies.
Gambling is Legal
Gambling is entirely legal in Aruba, so you can freely engage in this activity if that is something you enjoy. There are many casinos on the island as a result, and almost every resort has one.
