Always carry a copy of the photo page of your passport with you.
Avoid isolated areas, including beaches, after dark.
Keep your valuables secure and out of sight to prevent petty theft.
Be on the lookout for bag snatchers in tourist areas.
When taking a taxi, check that it is registered (number plates start with TX) and agree the price before the ride.

Health in Curaçao
As a British tourist, ensure you have comprehensive travel insurance that covers medical expenses, including emergency treatment and repatriation. While Curaçao is not in the EU, and therefore EHIC/GHIC cards are not applicable, good travel insurance is essential.
No vaccinations required
Consult your doctor or a travel clinic well in advance of your trip to discuss necessary vaccinations and health precautions. Ensure you are up-to-date on routine vaccinations. Mosquito-borne diseases are present, so take precautions to avoid mosquito bites, such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and trousers, and staying in accommodations with mosquito screens or air conditioning.
