Paramaribo is one of those underrated destinations to visit - one of the most interesting attractions are the old wooden buildings in the city centre, where you can also find some unexpected modern architecture.
Naturally, when the Dutch established themselves here in the late 17th century, they also took their ways of construction with them. Gradually, their style was blended with local techniques, using local building materials, resulting in a fusion of recognizable Dutch and indigenous architecture. The results are still visible in a rather small area in downtown Paramaribo: traditional houses being chiefly made of wood, fires have destroyed some parts, while modernization of the city has taken care of others. The city centre now is protected as it has become a Unesco World Heritage site.
