Paramaribo

About 240 thousand people.

Paramaribo is the capital and biggest city of Suriname, and almost half the whole country lives here. It sits on the Suriname River and is famous for its colorful wooden buildings.

You can stroll past the pretty white wooden houses of the old town, visit the huge wooden cathedral, and taste yummy street food from many cultures. A walk along the riverside is a fun way to see boats go by.
