MARKETS IN SURINAME

Hello visitors and shoppers,

Welcome to markets in Suriname.

When visiting the main market,  the  Central market at the waterkant, make sure you have the fish market on your list. There is a lot of excitement going on there: from fishermen who are taking fish out of the boats, to people enjoying their prepared fish plate.

On Sundays, there is a Sunday morning markettour – going to 4 markets.

First of all, you won’t be disappointed if you start with the Chinese market. There are a lot of special prepared Chinese snacks, vegetables. There is always something new at the Chinese market.
The Chinese market is located at de GROTE COMBEWEG.

Next place to visit is the SOEGNIE ORIENTAL market. This is another type of small Chinese maket at the corner of the WILHELMINA street. If you don’t have a lot of time and you just want to experience something Surinamese on a market, make sure you choose the Soegnie market.

 

The next market is the TOURTONNE market, which is on both sides of the Tourtonne laan. From clothes, vegetables, fruits, chips to bicycles – if you did not find what you are looking for, then I will be questioning I you have visited the market in real. This market started as a flea market and now has the idea of a mixed market.

Be open to make real friends at this market.

The final market at the Sunday market tour is the Indonesian market, with chips, saoto soup, bami nasi and also vegetables.

The Surinam flavor of hospitality is one items which you won’t miss at this market.

Apart from the markets in the tour, on Sundays, you can also visit Kwatta market at the 3e Rijweg, markets at the Highway, markets at the Indira Ghandi.

As earlier mentioned, there is always a lot of excitement at the markets in Suriname
