PIETERMAAI SCHARLOO
         A stone’s throw from Punda and Otrobanda, you’ll find Scharloo and
         Pietermaai. Named for Dutch seafarer Pieter de Meij who settled in Curaçao
         in 1674, today’s Pietermaai is a trendy neighbourhood on the rise. Its lively
         arts scene and nightlife make it popular with students, locals and visitors
         alike. More and more shops, bars, B&Bs and galleries are popping up all the
         time. A visit to Scharloo to see the beautifully restored mansions is also a
         must.
