Princess Juliana International Airport is located in the Dutch southern half of the twin island Sint Maarten / Saint-Martin. A special feature of this Caribbean island paradise worth seeing can be found in the immediate vicinity: At the nearby Maho Beach the distance between the landing aircraft and the heads of the beach visitors (or the mastheads of the boats anchored there) is often only a few metres. The arrival times of the largest scheduled jets are announced daily on a chalkboard attached to a surfboard for amateur photographers. Between the airport and the nearby town of Marigot taxis or minibuses are available. The modern Fort Louis Marina lies in the French part of the colourful and lively Caribbean islandwhere the Euro is the official national currency.

During the day, St. George's resembles a living open-air museum from the British colonial era. A popular meeting place is King's Square with its reconstructed pillory and the diving chair, which was once used to briefly lower "gossiping women" into the harbour basin. In the evening hours, a colourful hustle and bustle unfolds around the harbour: bars, restaurants and shops invite visitors to immerse themselves in the night with rum punch, calypso sounds and the constant chorus of tree frogs. Nature lovers will get their money's worth, as lush tropical vegetation characterises the island's appearance. In the botanical garden, you can discover the full diversity and colourfulness of the native flora. The Crystal Caves in the Hamilton district are considered an insider tip.
