Three 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.

't Surinaamsch Rumhuis is the visitor side of Suriname Alcoholic Beverages, the distillery behind Borgoe, Black Cat and Marienburg rum. The company's own page for it, checked on 21 August 2026, says the Rumhuis opened on 10 December 2010 alongside the distillery and runs tours, tastings and a mixology class, with an address on Cornelis Jongbawstraat.
A tour takes in the distillery, the museum and the laboratory before finishing in the tasting room, and third-party sellers offer a longer "grand tour" variant built around the aged Borgoe rums. There is also a bar and a river-facing terrace, so a drink here does not require booking a tour.
Tour prices, opening hours and whether booking is required are not published on any page we could read, so contact SAB directly. If you have an older link to sabrum.com/en/rum-huis, it 404s — the working path is /en/rumhuis.
