Paramaribo Travel Safety Guide — Suriname

Safety Score: 7/10 · Value: 8.5/10 · Beauty: 7.8/10

Paramaribo is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse cities in the world, a Dutch colonial capital in tropical South America where the descendants of Hindu and Muslim Indian indentured labourers, Javanese workers, African Maroon escaped slaves, indigenous Amerindians, Chinese merchants, and Dutch colonists all live side by side. The city's wooden colonial architecture is UNESCO-listed; the food scene is extraordinary (roti, nasi goreng, pom, and peanut soup coexist in the same restaurant); and the surrounding Amazon rainforest is one of the world's most pristine.
