In Paramaribo it is not recommended to visit waterfront and Central market areas as well as Palmentuib at night time.

Suriname visa can be received only at Suriname Consulate. The most convenient way to do it is in Amsterdam. The Consulate is located not far from Schiphol Aairport. So you can manage to get a visa stamp in your passport and fly back in one day. The second option is to send documents by post.

Travelling in minibuses around Suriname, you will be surely going off schedule. Drivers don’t usually rush to take passengers to the place of destination by picking up their friends all along the way.

Every day from 6AM to 9AM lovers of birds gather on the square near the promenade in Paramaribo. Birds’ owners hang cages with their pets on special supports. And everybody is welcome to visit this spontaneous zoo and enjoy birds singing just for free.

You can also have a cheap bite in the shops selling roasted flatbread – roti – and at cafés called “warung”.

Don’t miss out to try some Suriname-Indonesian dishes. The most delicious ones can be found in Blauwgrond, Javanese district, and the tastiest roti are served in «Joosje» and «Roopram».

On the Suriname riverbanks there is the Central market. You should go there to buy cheap groceries and souvenirs.

De Waag is a nice restaurant in Paramaribo offering nice prices and good beer.
