Must-sees Paramaribo
Waterfront
The most beautiful and important street in the city runs parallel to the Suriname River. Trade ships arrived here in the past. Large colonial houses dominate this street which was largely destroyed in 1821 by a major fire. Many expensive merchant houses were lost.
Fort Zeelandia
This fort, which today serves as a museum, was founded around 1600 by Dutch people. From here they traded and defended their settlement against attacks from outside. After several conquests by, among others, the English and the French, the fort became a barracks and prison years later. At this place are a number of beautiful officers' homes and a former powder house which now serves as a pharmacy.
