Transportation from City Center to Paramaribo Airport
Suriname is one of the lesser known countries in South America. Paramaribo, located on the banks of the Suriname River, about 15 km inside the Atlantic Ocean, is the largest city and capital of Suriname.
The city is in a synthesis with the local colors where the colorful streets and the unique culture are blended. The texture and canals of the city, which bear traces of the Dutch colonial period, make you feel like you are in the Netherlands.
The airport with the busiest passenger traffic in the city and the country is Paramaribo-Zanderij International Airport. The airport is 45 km from the city center of Paramaribo. The official name of the airport, which the people call JAP in daily use, is Johan Adolf Pengel International Airport. Unfortunately, there is no public transportation alternative to reach the airport from the city center.
There are alternatives such as taxi, car rental, motorcycle rental, purchasing a private transfer service or using shuttle vehicles or using applications such as Uber to get from the city center to the airport.
Taxi is one of the most frequently used options to reach the airport from the city center. Although the taxis work with a proper system, from time to time there may be a price dispute between tourists and taxi drivers. It takes an average of 1 hour to reach Paramaribo International Airport from the city center by taxi. Traffic is always open to surprises.
Taxi prices are above the average in world cities. Payments are made to the taxi driver in cash in local currency. Since taxis do not accept credit cards, you should always carry cash. Make sure you have agreed with the driver about your destination and the average fare you will pay.
Some hotels in the city have paid or free private transfer services. By purchasing this service, you can reach the airport from your hotel with a comfortable journey. For a detailed list, you can check the hotels providing this service on the airport website.
