      While the official language is Dutch, Sranantongo is the lingua franca on the streets of Paramaribo. However, in terms of first language, Dutch is still widely spoken, with 66.4% speaking it as their mother tongue and most other people understanding it.

      • By plane

        KLM Royal Dutch Airlines has three weekly direct flights from [wiki=3eb8670d999ac077dd0e2c345cb7c905]Amsterdam[/wiki]. Surinam Airways (Surinaamse Luchtvaart Maatschappij) also has three weekly direct flights from Amsterdam. If you are coming from [wiki=912d59cdf1d3f551fae21f6f0062258f]Europe[/wiki], another alternative is to fly with Air France from [wiki=e20d37a5d7fcc4c35be6fc18a8e71bfa]Paris[/wiki] to [wiki=2186db2ef123599822781fec32e3ac97]Cayenne[/wiki] (in [wiki=1cab30fe45c3aee88dc7bc9f907cd239]French Guiana[/wiki]) and travel from there, either by plane or overland.

        From the [wiki=f253efe302d32ab264a76e0ce65be769]United States[/wiki], airline service is available from [wiki=0f5de708d2f6808ffb0c3893b2b8964a]Miami[/wiki] and [wiki=d97e023dce2bb237a0d44f46d8ee9438]New York[/wiki] (JFK) via Caribbean Airlines [url=http://www.carribean-airlines.com],]which stops in Trinidad-Tobago enroute to Suriname. From August 2008, it is also possible to fly with Surinam Airways to and from [[Miami[/url]] with a stop in [wiki=4893b64051cf425047ddd8606dae25f4]Aruba[/wiki].

        From [wiki=42537f0fb56e31e20ab9c2305752087d]Brazil[/wiki], there is twice per week a flight by Suriname Airways from [wiki=0164ddf9ddc99107b29e7107530e700b]Belém[/wiki] to Paramaribo vice versa. The flight takes 1 hour and half and only drinks are served. From [wiki=566dff1c7711ca886838087435ef25ec]Georgetown[/wiki], [wiki=cf4c7e1169281886577940e361854a84]Guyana[/wiki], there are several daily flights on small planes by Trans Guyana Airways and Surinam Airways. Some land at the Zorg En Hoop Airport which is in downtown [wiki=579caf0030a1314651d363a4052f37b6]Paramaribo[/wiki]. Note that the services from Zorg En Hoop are very limited -- no taxis, ATMs, buses, but main roads are a short walk from the terminal building.

        From the Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport, also known as Paramaribo-Zanderij International Airport, into Paramaribo there is a (tourist) bus running. It takes about an hour, but much more during peak hours. There are also taxis available. The situation outside the airport appears a bit chaotic with many taxi drivers trying to get clients.

        In August 2015 the (tourist) bus to the city cost 60 SRD (or 15€ if you prefer to pay in Euro). There is a local bus stopping on the main road costing just over 2.15 SRD (august 2015). From 5.30 am from city. Rates of taxis vary depending on demand and your bargaining skills. If you are lucky to find a taxi driver who just brought a passenger from the city he might be willing to settle for 100 SRD one way. Others may not take passengers for less than 150 SRD (one way). You can change money inside the airport terminal (at a bad rate)while you wait for your baggage.

      • By bus

        From [wiki=d98fe5aef84d0c9718a0203fe4d5765e]Georgetown[/wiki], [wiki=cf4c7e1169281886577940e361854a84]Guyana[/wiki], take minibus #63a to Moleson Creek in eastern Guyana just across the river from Suriname.

        Ferries between the Guyanese and Surinamese sides of the river depart at 9am and 1pm. Minibuses typically depart Georgetown at 4am to arrive in time for the 8am ferry. The cost is approximately $US15 to the border however tickets for the whole trip through to Paramaribo are available for approximately $US30 - $US35. Ask at hotels for the numbers of drivers who will pick passengers up from their residences/hotels in Georgetown between 4:00am - 4:30am. There are also a number of drivers who depart Georgetown to meet the 1pm ferry although these are less common. There are also private cars which cost around US$100 one way.

        Travelers will need to arrive at the border at least one hour before the scheduled departure to clear customs which is open from 6:30am - 8:00am for the 9am departure and 10:30am - noon for the 1pm departure. A one way fare costs approximately circa $US 10 payable in local currency. The return fare is 15€ (68 SRD) and valid for three weeks. Make sure there is clarity about whether the cost of the ferry is included or not included in the price agreed with the driver.

        The actual ferry ride takes about 30 minutes. From there you can get a minibus into Paramaribo. Again the trip takes at least 3 hrs and costs ~US$15.

        It is better to change GYD to SRD on the Guyanese side of the border where rates are more competitive. Opportunities to change money on the Surinamese side of the border are seemingly scarce and those desperate to change GYD there must be willing to accept a circa 20% loss in value upon exchange as opposed to circa 10% on the Guyanese side. Note you cannot get a visa for Suriname at the land border, but can easily obtain one in Georgetown from the Suriname embassy if required (it takes one business day).

        Rohit bus service will arrange both segments for SRD 100 (~USD 35) picking you up (Paramaribo~3AM) and dropping you wherever you indicate (Georgetown~2PM). (+597)7162293/8844880. Ask for Waldy. In Georgetown Brian minibus (tel 218 4460) offers a similar service for 6000 G$ (USD 35). The two companies work together.

      • By boat

        Little boats can take you over the Suriname river to [wiki=9b5fec034af43b000868f68c463b7874]Commewijne[/wiki]. Prices vary. Most traffic is between Platte brug in Paramaribo and Meerzorg (Commewijne). If you join locals and wait until a boat is full, you pay 1 SRD (one way); 5 SRD extra for a bicycle. If you want to go immediately you can pay for the whole boat (20 SRD if you bargain, otherwise 30 SRD). This is a preferred option for small groups (with bikes). Keep in mind that early morning most traffic is to Paramaribo, in the late afternoon most passengers go to Commewijne.

      • By car

        There are several car rentals services based in Paramaribo. Suriname has the English driving system. The steering wheel of the cars is on the right.

      • By bus

        In Suriname, many buses are private. The drivers, however, follow collectively determined routes. The buses are somewhere between private taxis and public transportation and leave the bus station only when they are totally full, meaning there are not specific schedules. If you do see a bus, take note that the buses are hand painted.

      Have a walk in the Maagdenstraat where you will see a lot of Chinese jewelers. Most of the jewelers are specialized in labor-intensive handmade jewels. It is also quite cheap to give your jewels a bath giving them the glow they used to have, or to simply repair them.

      Have a Chinese breakfast and eat dim sum at

      * Come and have a relaxing swim in the pool of Kekemba Resort Paramaribo. The pool of the resort used to be open for locals and other people staying in Suriname, but unfortunately is now only open to people staying at the resort.

      Visit Waterkant and enjoy the sunset.

      Visit the flea market on Sunday.

      Visit the flower expo at the Letitia Vriesdelaan which happens is scheduled every other Sunday. They sell different type of orchids, cacti, and other plants.

      Cycle around. You can hire a bicycle for 15 SRD (24 hours) at Zus&Zo on Grote Combeweg 13. Leonsberg to the north and Domburg to the south both along the Surinam river are within easy reach, but it is also possible to cycle to Fort Nieuw Amsterdam and former plantations on the other side of the river without much difficulty. In case you are interested in how the Atlantic coast looks you can cycle to Weg naar Zee where there is a Hindu temple with a sea view.

      Walk to the highest point of the Wijdenbosch bridge for the best view over the city. It is not allowed to walk on the highway, but there is a narrow foot path. Alternatively you can cycle over the bridge, though you need to pay most of your attention to the traffic as the road is often busy. It is not a ride to enjoy the view.
      • Tour companies

        Many tour companies in town (some connected to hotels) will offer tours and day trips including sunset/dolphin cruises (around 60 euro) on the Suriname River or day hiking trips to nearby national parks.
