Find out why the Paramaribo bike tour is so popular
This colonial yet distinctly tropical city is perfect for exploring by bike. There aren’t any bike paths like in the Netherlands, but you can still ride along quiet roads and enjoy everything around you. Because of its many wooden buildings from the colonial era, the city center is best known as “the wooden city.” One highlight you won’t want to—and shouldn’t—miss is the old Fort Zeelandia, a former Dutch fort built by Dutch colonists in the 17th century.
Paramaribo Bike Tour with a tour guide who knows the city well
Parbo is a unique city with a fascinating history. In the past, the Surinamese capital was the colony’s most important population center. Many plantations were established along the Suriname River and the Commewijne River—which flows into the Suriname River just north of the city—and were protected by Fort Zeelandia. It should come as no surprise that there’s plenty to learn during the Paramaribo bike tour. At every stop, our enthusiastic guide will share the fascinating story and answer all your questions. Of course, there’s also plenty of time to take some great photos!
