Creator's Key Takeaways

This is a must do. If you are getting here in Aruba or you're stopping in Aruba on your cruise, you have to do this right.

We are 15 minutes in and we have made it just outside. But what a great spot to take pictures with the cruise ships.

The trolley is a free trolley that will take you to the end. It's totally free. The cruise ships pay the port.

If we are back here, we're definitely going on this trolley again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Take the free trolley tour as soon as you arrive to avoid long lines.
Visit the Archaeological Museum of Aruba for a quick, informative stop.
Walk around the downtown area to explore shops and local culture.
Use the fixed taxi rates for beach trips to avoid surprises.
