Attractions in Aruba

 

Aruba has a reputation for beauty that is not undeserved. Many people think immediately of the gorgeous white-sand beaches, but visitors are often pleasantly surprised to learn that the history and culture of the island have made their own contribution to it's current state of loveliness.

Beaches

Beaches are certainly one of the major reasons why travelers make a point of putting Aruba on their itinerary. The clear water and pristine sand are a breathtaking combination, and basking in the warm Caribbean sunshine is incredibly appealing. But there are other aspects of the island's nature to stimulate visitors. The wild animal and plant life make Aruba a truly unique vacation spot, home to desert landscapes as well as iguanas, birds, and butterflies.

Landmarks

Travelers interested in Aruba's colonial past will find plenty of fascinating outlets for their curiosity. A host of museums showcase various artifacts from different eras in the island's history while the architecture found throughout Aruba serves as a great example of the relationship it maintains with the Dutch. The presence of the Catholic church can also been seen in many of the historic cathedrals. Read more about Aruba's landmarks here.

Nature

The topography of Aruba allows vacationers to choose between several different landscapes to explore.   In one instant you can be touring the awe-inspiring wonder that is natural underground caves, and the next hitting the desert terrain of the northwest coast for some dune-sliding.  Top it off with a dip in the hidden natural pool that is Cura di Tortuga, and you will have seen a myriad of natural wonders all in one trip. 

Casinos

Of course there's no reason to end your sightseeing when the sun goes down. Bustling casinos in Palm Beach, Eagle Beach, and Oranjestad attract gambling fans from all over the world and can be a fantastic way to cap off a day spent off the beaten path. Explore tables dealing Caribbean Stud Poker or try your hand at a slot machine or a game of blackjack or roulette. Even for seasoned gamblers, the choices seem endless.

Visitors who are eager to experience all of the sights and attractions that Aruba has to offer find that the small island packs a big vacation punch. From interesting wildlife to electrifying nightlife, there is plenty to see and do on the island of Aruba.
