  1. Onafhankelijkheidsplein

    Onafhankelijkheidsplein (Independence Square) features a statue of legendary former prime minister Johan 'Jopie' Pengel. It is surrounded by the stately 18th-century Presidential Palace, aging colonial government buildings and a modern finance building. Behind the palace is the Palmentuin, a shady haven of tall royal palms that's home to a troop of capuchin monkeys.
