[edit] Understand

[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

KLM has three weekly direct flights from Amsterdam. If you're coming from Europe another alternative is to fly with Air France from Paris to Cayenne (in French Guiana) and travel from there. Either by plane or overland. This route is generally not advised.

From the Johan Adolf Pengel Airport, previously known as Zanderij, into Paramaribo there is a bus running. It takes about an hour. There are also taxi's available.

[edit] By train

Sorry, we have none, you can visit the wrecks at 'Zanderij I' in Para though.

[edit] By car

There are several Car rentals services in Suriname.

[edit] By bus

In Suriname the buses are private. The drivers, however do follow routes that are collectively determined. The buses are somewhere between private taxis and public transportation, and only leave the “bus station” 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.

[edit] By boat

There is a ferry at the Suriname river which will take you to Commewijne.

[edit] Get around

[edit] See

Try to visit see the rest of Suriname.

[edit] Do

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.
