The Royal Plaza Mall is the most traditional shopping area in Oranjestad. This very pink and ornate building houses an attractive collection of shops that offers a little bit of everything. It is conveniently located right across the cruise ship terminal right in the middle of Oranjestad, walking distance to the bus station, museums , galleries and shopping malls.
