Map of Aruba
by Lise - an avid cruiser
This map of Aruba will give you a good idea of the layout of this easy-to-get-around Caribbean island. As you can see, there are not too many roads which makes it really easy to drive around in your rented car/jeep! Click on the map to enlarge it.
I really like Aruba. It's an easy island and there are lots to discover either on your own or with a tour.
Last time we were there, I picked up this big map and cut it into smaller sections and then photocopied each part.
This one is the downtown core where you'll find the cruise ship terminal, the shopping, car rentals and the bus terminal.

You can take a bus to the beaches, it's a nice ride and cheap. The bus terminal is on the left of No.2 on the map above. Or you can take a taxi which would be more expensive except the price is per car, so you can split it with others.
As you can see, most of the streets are on the West side and center of the island. Once you get to the East side, it's mostly desert and really not much of roads, that's why you will see lots of jeeps and ATVs there near that rugged coast.
