Although small in size, Paramaribo is probably the place in South America with the most exotic mix of cultures, apparent both in people you meet and buildings in the streets.
Paramaribo is a perfect town to walk around in. Walking from one sight to the next point of interest is never far, and the central area is not very large either. You can walk past historic places like Fort Zeelandia, the waterfront area with old trade houses and warehouses, typical, attractive wooden houses, and also Independence Square with monuments to heroes of Surinam and modern buildings, often in classical styles. One of the main wooden buildings in Paramaribo is the Saint Petrus & Paulus Cathedral, claimed to be one of the largest wooden church in South America - definitely worth a visit, if only for its enormous windows, and marvelling at the wooden structure inside.
