Market sights in Paramaribo

  1. A

    Central Market

    Sprawling along the waterfront, the frenzied central market is just the place to get an earful, eyeful and gutful of all Parbo has to offer. It's really three markets in one. The nearly ominous Maroon market is full of bones, sticks, feathers, caged monkeys and various tonics and fruits for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.

    The sprawling Asian and Indian market sells all the unnecessary plastic objects and beautiful foodstuffs you could ever hope to find. Closest to the river is the raucous, winding, outdoor fish market, where you can watch fishermen unload their boats.

  2. Maroon Market

    Not for the fainthearted, the frenzied central market is divided into distinct areas: the nearly ominous Maroon market is full of bones, sticks, feathers, caged monkeys and various tonics and fruits for ceremonial and medicinal purposes.
