Nieuw Amsterdam
About 5 thousand people.
Nieuw Amsterdam sits where the Suriname and Commewijne rivers meet, just across the water from the capital. It is famous for its old riverside fortress.
You can explore the open-air fort museum with its old cannons and learn stories from the past. The rivers here are great for boat trips to spot dolphins.
