 Central Market by DSwede
They market opens early and closes early. Best to get there in the early morning before things close and while the temperatures are still more comfortable. Address: Waterkant streetDirections: On Waterkant, opposite Jodenbreestraat

On Sunday-mornings there is a flowermarket in the Cultuurtuin. For flower lovers in general and orchid lovers in particular. Address: Laetitia Vriesdelaan, former CultuurtuinlaanDirections: From onafhankelijkheidsplein go north-west by the Henck Arronstraat. After about 1,5 km the street to your right is Swalmbergstraat. Down this street its name changes into Laetitia Vriesdelaan.

The all-wooden Sts. Peter- and Paul-cathedral is said to be the largest one in South-America. It was built in the 19th century (inaugurated in 1885), and nowadays in dire need of restauration. The danger of collapse has been diverted by numerous supports on the inside, but the real restauration work has yet to begin.
It is worthwhile to see the interior, with scaffolding, supports and all. There is a tombstone of Peerke Donders, the priest who ran a leper colony in the 19th century.
You may go up to the organ gallery (the organ pipes have been stolen). And if you are not afraid of heights, you may climb one of the towers. The caretaker, mr Grunberg, won't come up with you - he is a bit too old for that. But please, do not forget to give him a tip. Entrance to the church is free. Address: GravenstraatPhone: mr. Grunberg: 422140 or 472521Directions: The church is open for sightsee-ers Wednesdays and Saturdays 10-12 am. Or on appointment with the caretaker, mr. Grunberg. Find him at the bishop's offices on the right of the cathedral (when facing the cathedral).

 Baby anteater type thingy,
v.v.v.v.v.cute!! by johnkebab
The cool thing about this zoo is that you can interact with the animals as the zookeepers have a really good relationship with them, and there is no one around to stop you getting really close to them and playing with them through their cages...... the downside to this is that there are the less educated that find it funny to feed tissues to monkeys, but I find a quick clip round the ear sorts that one out.......
Another cool thing is that the animals around the zoo, i.e. wild parrots, come and 'speak' to the captive animals, so you see a couple of wild creatures hanging around sometimes.... Leave a Comment Address: Paramaribo ZooDirections: Get in the taxi and ask to go to the zoo, it should cost around 5 dollars.
