Travel Costs in Suriname

Overview

Suriname is a moderately priced destination by South American standards, with costs in Paramaribo being the primary driver of a traveler's budget, particularly accommodation and dining at international-style restaurants. Local street food and minibus transport are very affordable, but imported goods, jungle lodge tours, and inter-city travel can add up quickly. The country's relatively limited tourist infrastructure means mid-range and luxury options are fewer and often pricier than comparable destinations in the region.

Notes

Eat at local warung-style eateries and Chinese-run restaurants for filling meals at a fraction of restaurant prices, and use shared minibuses (LijnBus) for city transport instead of taxis to keep daily costs low.
