Paramaribo, locally nicknamed Foto, is the capital and largest city of Suriname, located on the banks of the Suriname River in the Paramaribo District. Paramaribo has a population of roughly 252,581 people as of the 2025 estimate, almost half of Suriname's population. The historic inner city of Paramaribo has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2002.

As the capital city of Suriname, Paramaribo is a bustling metropolis that is rich in history, culture, and natural beauty. It is a fusion of Dutch, African, and indigenous cultures, making it a truly fascinating place to explore.

One of the most striking things about Paramaribo is its architecture. The city is home to a collection of well-preserved colonial buildings that date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. These buildings reflect the city's Dutch heritage and have earned Paramaribo a spot on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
