One of the highlights is the Central Market, where you'll discover the diversity of Surinamese fruits, vegetables, and herbs. The guide will tell you about Surinamese cuisine, and you might even get the chance to sample some of the local produce. Afterwards, you'll visit Keizerstraat, where the Mosque and Synagogue stand side by side—a remarkable symbol of Suriname's multicultural society.
