Holiday homes in Paramaribo
The Paramaribo district is the beating heart of Suriname. This is where you’ll find most of the country’s important social and cultural facilities. The majority of museums, shops and restaurants can be found in
Paramaribo City, but there’s plenty to see and to do away from the capital as well. Make your way to the banks of the Suriname River which has some excellent fishing locations (but make sure you’re aware of local regulations and permits). This area is also great for walks. Take a stroll and admire the lovely country homes of the capital’s richer inhabitants.
