Paramaribo half-day walking city tour



Don't miss out on getting acquainted with the downtown of Paramaribo with five hours of discovery. Learn what makes this city distinct through its top sites (and hidden ones too): Basilica Minor, the Presidential Palace, Central Market, Keizerstraat, Fort Zeelandia, and more with a knowledgeable local guide.

Paramaribo is ideal to investigate by foot so, together with your guide, you'll walk through its streets with cloud-piercing rooftops. See the wooden Basilica Minor and the Presidential Palace and learn more about the city's colonial past and its typical uniform, symmetrical building style. Then, smell, touch and taste the fascinating fruit, vegetables, herbs, and other goods at the Central Market.

Curious to taste some Surinamese dishes? You'll not be disappointed as these are also on display to light up your senses and your guide is on-hand to let you know the top facts about them. Next, a stroll through Keizerstraat reveals the Mosque and the Synagogue who coexist together comfortably, displaying the multicultural society in Suriname. Learn, how Fort Zeelandia is a historical event hub and other stories surrounding sites you see to complete the experience.
