Amsterdam meets the Wild West in Paramaribo (Parbo), the most vivacious and striking capital in the Guianas. Black-and-white colonial Dutch buildings line grassy squares and spices waft from roti shops, mingling with exhaust fumes, while Maroon artists sell colorful paintings by somber Dutch forts.
The locals in Parbo are justifiably proud of their multi-ethnicity - they live in a city where mosques and synagogues play happy neighbors. In 2002 the historical inner city was listed as a Unesco World Heritage Site. Elsewhere, towering palms offer welcome shade and mangroves hug the riverside.
