Rules in force · 5Town pavements are narrow and shared with cars
- Aruba ↗Aruba sets its own entry rules as part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; check the official Aruba government sources for your passport, including any online embarkation card before you fly.
- Aruba ↗Arikok National Park covers much of the north-east; some tracks need a high-clearance or 4x4 vehicle, so check before driving a standard rental car in.
- Oranjestad area (Aruba) ↗Taxi fares are set by zone: agree the amount before you ride.
- Oranjestad (Aruba) ↗Beachwear is for the beach: cover shoulders and knees in town, shops and restaurants.
- Oranjestad (Aruba) ↗Town pavements are narrow and shared with cars: large bags go from the taxi to the door, never on a walk.
