Aruba is an island located in the Caribbean Sea and is part of the group of islands known as the Netherlands Antilles. Aruba is a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands with full autonomy for internal affairs. The population is about 110,000 people, and its citizens are Dutch. The chief of state is the King of the Netherlands and a governour general represents the king. A prime minister is the head of government.
The Dutch acquired Aruba in 1636. The island has been very prosperous, first due to a 19th-century gold rush that led to about 100 years of mining. Then, in 1924, an oil refinery opened. The last part of the 20th century brought a tourism boom to the economy.
Aruba is well developed as a tourist destination. Travellers can enjoy beautiful beaches, diving, walks in the city of Oranjestad, and the Arikok National Wildlife Park, which covers about 20 percent of the island.

Aruba中的安全性
人身安全
阿魯巴島是加勒比海地區最安全的旅遊目的地之一。美國國務院將其列為一級警戒，建議僅採取常規預防措施。警方在旅遊區保持可見的警力，有超過600名經過訓練的警員為遊客提供協助。大多數影響遊客的犯罪都是扒竊和搶錢包等小偷小摸行為，尤其是在1月至3月狂歡節等人密集的活動期間。針對遊客的暴力犯罪很少見，通常發生在度假區以外。 2024年，警方記錄了全島約18起兇殺案，大多數案件涉及已知嫌疑人而非遊客。阿魯巴島約有11萬居民，每年接待150萬遊客，對遊客的風險仍然很小。毒品犯罪將受到嚴厲的處罰，包括高額罰款和監禁。旅遊業推動經濟發展，促使人們維護度假勝地和海灘地區的安全標準。警方會撥打100迅速應付緊急狀況。
極端暴力
在阿魯巴島，針對遊客的極端暴力事件極為罕見。 2024 年，阿魯巴的兇殺率約為每十萬居民 16 起，高於一些加勒比海鄰國，但大多數事件涉及當地糾紛而非遊客。雖然有報案稱曾發生武裝搶劫，但這種情況並不常見。與地區層級相比，阿魯巴的暴力犯罪率仍然較低，攻擊和武裝搶劫的發生率約為每十萬人 7.2 起。島上存在幫派活動，主要與特定社區的販毒和賣淫有關。有組織犯罪在加勒比海地區活躍，因此國際刑警組織在此設立了分支機構。然而，針對遊客的犯罪者很少使用武力，遊客遭遇暴力犯罪的情況也微乎其微。該島面積小，警力強大，有助於遏止旅遊區的暴力犯罪活動。
政治動盪
阿魯巴島保持較高的政治穩定性，2023 年評分為 1.43 分，遠高於世界平均。該國是荷蘭王國的組成國，在大多數內部事務上享有完全自治權。抗議活動偶爾發生，通常與勞資糾紛、社會議題或競選活動有關，在奧拉涅斯塔德最常見。這些示威活動很少演變成暴力事件，通常只造成輕微的交通延誤。 2024 年，出現了針對環境問題和飯店開發的和平抗議活動，當地人在國王日、國歌和國旗日期間舉行了示威活動。警方在 2024 年狂歡節和選舉期間沒有逮捕任何人，維持了公共秩序。雖然在 2024 年 5 月的一些示威活動中，警方對抗議者進行了人身控制，但政治暴力仍然很少見。選舉和平進行，權力民主交接。政府穩定，專注於旅遊業驅動的經濟發展。
應避免的區域
聖尼古拉斯是阿魯巴的第二大城市，尤其在天黑後需要謹慎。該地區是紅燈區，賣淫和販毒活動猖獗，警力稀少，街道照明昏暗。夜間應避免獨自在此附近行走。其他有安全隱患的地區包括坦基·林德特（Tanki Leendert）和帕拉德拉（Paradera），那裡的大多數犯罪都與販毒有關。奧拉涅斯塔德市中心的郵輪碼頭區在周日商店關門後會顯得空曠，但不構成重大危險。遠離主要旅遊區的偏僻海灘存在潛在的犯罪活動風險，而且求助管道有限。北部海岸的海灘，如聖尼古拉斯附近的博卡凱托（Boca Keto）、多斯普拉亞（Dos Playa）、安迪庫里海灘（Andicuri Beach）和黑石海灘（Blackstone Beach），水流湍急，海面波濤洶湧，而且缺乏救生員，非常危險。游泳時，請避免在任何海灘的浮標以外的地方游泳，因為水流會迅速加劇。遊覽阿里科克國家公園的偏遠地區時需要格外小心。天黑後請留在光線充足、人口稠密的地區，夜間避免前往人跡罕至的海灘。
