I know there must be a lot of shopping in Aruba for the tourist trade. Can someone tell me where is the best shopping in Aruba? I'd like to know where the locals go to shop? That's usually the best places to hit up while you're there.
Oranjestad has the best variety of stores for shopping. There are a ton of jewelry stores if you want to get emeralds at an awesome price. There are also local craft and art stores. I bought a few art pieces while I was there and I was really surprised at how inexpensive some of it is.
