# TravelParamaribo > A structured, sourced database of places and practical information in Suriname, starting with Paramaribo, rendered as a website. Every important factual claim on a place page is stored with the source it came from and the date that source was read, and every place page shows when it was last verified. There are no reviews and no ratings on this site, because none are collected. Coverage today: 80 published places and 11 published guides. The database is grown deliberately; an entry appears only after a human has verified its existence against a government, official or platform source. ## Sections - [Where to stay in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/stay): Hotels, guesthouses, apartments and lodges in the interior. - [Eating and drinking in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink): Javanese warungs, Creole kitchens, roti shops, cafés and riverside bars. - [Things to see and do in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do): The UNESCO-listed inner city, museums, river trips and the forest beyond. - [Getting to and around Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/transport): Taxis, buses, car rental, river boats and domestic flights. - [Practical information for Suriname](https://travelparamaribo.com/practical): Visas and entry, money, SIM cards, health and staying safe. - [Shopping in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/shopping): Markets, malls and places to find something worth taking home. - [Working from Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/work): Coworking desks, connectivity and services for longer stays. ## Key guides - [Long stays in Paramaribo: apartments and aparthotels](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/long-stays-in-paramaribo-apartments-and-aparthotels): Three serviced-apartment properties compared for stays measured in weeks — location, kitchens, published rates, and the paying-for-it problem nobody warns you about. - [Day trips from Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/day-trips-from-paramaribo): Suriname has two UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the second one is a day trip. Jodensavanne, Commewijne, Colakreek and Overbridge — what each one is, and which are worth a whole day. - [Jungle lodges in Suriname compared](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/jungle-lodges-in-suriname-compared): Nine interior lodges compared on the things that actually decide the trip: how you get there, how comfortable it is, whether the community owns it, and who you book through. - [Is Suriname safe and healthy to visit?](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/is-suriname-safe-and-healthy-to-visit): Suriname was certified malaria-free by the WHO in June 2025 — a fact most travel writing has not caught up with. Here is what the current official sources actually say about health and safety, and what they do not. - [A day in Commewijne: plantations, forts and flat cycling](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/commewijne-plantation-day-trip): Across the river from Paramaribo lies the old plantation belt — flat, quiet, and the most rewarding day trip from the city. Here is what is actually there, and how people get across. - [Three days in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/itineraries/3-days-in-paramaribo): A workable three-day plan: the UNESCO inner city on foot, a day across the river in Commewijne, and a third day that depends on what you want from Suriname. - [Where to eat in Paramaribo: Javanese, Creole, roti and Chinese](https://travelparamaribo.com/collections/where-to-eat-in-paramaribo): Four everyday kitchens share one small city. This is what we have been able to verify about where to eat in each of them — and where the gaps are. - [Walking the historic inner city of Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/historic-inner-city-walking-guide): A half-day route through the thirty hectares UNESCO inscribed in 2002 — fort, square, palace, park, cathedral, and the synagogue and mosque that share a street. - [Getting around Paramaribo, and getting out of it](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/getting-around-paramaribo-and-day-trips): There is no Uber in Paramaribo. What there is: a walkable centre, a state bus network, private minibuses, two car rental brands, river boats and a small-plane airline for the interior. - [Money, ATMs and paying in Paramaribo](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/money-atms-and-paying-in-paramaribo): The Surinamese dollar, what a fair exchange rate looks like, which ATMs actually take a foreign Visa or Mastercard — and what every withdrawal now costs. - [SIM cards and eSIM in Suriname: what actually works](https://travelparamaribo.com/guides/sim-cards-and-esim-in-suriname): Suriname has two mobile operators. Only one of them sells a tourist product you can set up before you land, and both price in Surinamese dollars — which is the catch. ## Categories with published places - [Hotels](https://travelparamaribo.com/stay/hotels): 8 places - [Guesthouses](https://travelparamaribo.com/stay/guesthouses): 1 place - [Apartments](https://travelparamaribo.com/stay/apartments): 3 places - [Jungle lodges](https://travelparamaribo.com/stay/jungle-lodges): 9 places - [Restaurants](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/restaurants): 13 places - [Javanese](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/javanese): 3 places - [Creole](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/creole): 4 places - [Hindustani](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/hindustani): 2 places - [Roti shops](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/roti): 1 place - [Chinese](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/chinese): 1 place - [Cafes](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/cafes): 4 places - [Bars](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/bars): 4 places - [Street food](https://travelparamaribo.com/eat-drink/street-food): 1 place - [Historic sites](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/historic-sites): 10 places - [Museums](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/museums): 5 places - [Religious sites](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/religious-sites): 3 places - [Parks](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/parks): 2 places - [Plantations](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/plantations): 5 places - [Nature](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/nature): 8 places - [River tours](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/river-tours): 5 places - [Multi-day tours](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/multi-day-tours): 7 places - [Cycling](https://travelparamaribo.com/see-do/cycling): 3 places - [Car rental](https://travelparamaribo.com/transport/car-rental): 2 places - [Buses](https://travelparamaribo.com/transport/buses): 1 place - [Boats](https://travelparamaribo.com/transport/boats): 1 place - [Domestic flights](https://travelparamaribo.com/transport/domestic-flights): 1 place - [SIM & eSIM](https://travelparamaribo.com/practical/sim-esim): 2 places - [Health](https://travelparamaribo.com/practical/health): 4 places - [Money](https://travelparamaribo.com/practical/money): 3 places - [Visa & entry](https://travelparamaribo.com/practical/visa-entry): 1 place - [Markets](https://travelparamaribo.com/shopping/markets): 1 place - [Malls](https://travelparamaribo.com/shopping/malls): 1 place - [Souvenirs](https://travelparamaribo.com/shopping/souvenirs): 1 place - [Coworking](https://travelparamaribo.com/work/coworking): 2 places ## Places - [Full sitemap](https://travelparamaribo.com/sitemap.xml): every indexable URL on the site. - Each place lives permanently at https://travelparamaribo.com/places/{slug} and carries schema.org JSON-LD (a LocalBusiness subtype or TouristAttraction, plus BreadcrumbList) built only from fields we hold.
