It was a great site to visit but most of the museum area was closed as it was after 2:00 pm.It is quite a good experience to walk around and see the old fort.Would be lovely if there were places to eat on site but that is covered by the Waka Pasi.All in all a good place to visit.

The atmosphere and the lights at night, make the perfect place for that romantic moment that we sometimes look for. The delicious food and the excellent treatment make it one of my favorite places in all of Paramaribo.

Old historic center of the city. Totally intact. The (whiteguide is whitewashing the slave history a bit.

Great history and structure and a great museum but all descriptions were in Dutch. Alas my Dutch is not that good. Saw plenty of students visiting to learn about their history. The surround architecture was great and mostly well maintained.

Lovely spot to wander around. The cafe itself is one of the few quiet spots to get a coffee and sit by the river. Staff are great.

Great place to connect to the history of Suriname. There are some sad notes but that is to be expected of history.

Pretty weird to be here and see the history we as Dutch people influenced and changed. The diet is breathing history and you feel like things can happen just in front of you. The place of the december killings are a real eye-opener re the history of the fort. It is still unrevealed who did what and who escaped bfrom this. But when you are there you can feel the fear people must have felt

This Fort has been called Fort Zeelandia ever since the Dutch captured it in 1667. The current title is thus over 300 years out of date and should be changed.
